THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.BHAVANI PRASAD CRIMINAL PETITION No.2593 of 2007 DATED:10.09.2009 Between: Mohammad Meerajudein and another .. Petitioners And A.Raja Kumar and others .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.BHAVANI PRASAD CRIMINAL PETITION No.2593 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioners 1 and 2 and the first respondent are present in person before the Court and they are identified by Sri A.Eshwar, learned counsel representing Sri T.M.K.Chaitanya, learned counsel for the petitioners. The Criminal Petition itself has been filed stating that the petitioners and respondents 1 to 3 settled the matter and are maintaining cordial relationship. The Criminal Petition itself stated that in view of the compromise, the complaint should be quashed to avoid any protracted litigation. The petition also referred to the decisions of the Apex Court and this Court, permitting such compromise and compounding of offences and quashing the proceedings. The material on record discloses that the private complaint resulting in the criminal proceedings is about disputes which are purely personal in nature not involving any public policy and use of knives which led to registration of an offence under the Arms Act also does not involve any issues of public policy. In view of the compromise, continuance of the prosecution will be a futile exercise. The petitioners 1 and 2 and the first respondent stated before the Court also now that they compromised all their differences and requested for quashing of the criminal proceedings. Therefore, the inherent jurisdiction of this Court can be justifiably invoked to put an end to the vexing litigation. Therefore, the further proceedings in P.R.C.No.29 of 2000 on the file of the II Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Machilipatnam are quashed and the Criminal Petition is allowed accordingly. The parties are informed. ___________________ G. BHAVANI PRASAD, J 10th September 2009 KH
