THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.6797 OF 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings in C.C. No.834 of 2010 on the file of the XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad. 2. Heard. 3. Petitioners are the accused. 1st petitioner is the husband, 2nd petitioner is the sister-in-law and the 3rd petitioner is the son of the sister-in-law of the de facto complainant. They filed the present petition seeking to quash the above said FIR. 4. Today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, 2nd and 3rd petitioners and GPA holder of the 1st petitioner, as the 1st petitioner is in abroad, the de facto complainant are present before this Court. 2nd and 3rd Petitioners filed the Identity Cards issued by the Election Commission of India, bearing Nos.KYJ362113 and KYJ3618196, respectively, in proof of their identity. The photocopy of the Power of Attorney was filed by the GPA holder of the 1st petitioner. They stated that at the intervention of elders and well-wishers, the 1st petitioner and the de facto complainant entered into a compromise for dissolution of the marriage with mutual consent. The same was stated in the affidavit filed in support of this petition. 5. This Court perused the entire material on record. Considering the fact that the parties have compromised the matter out of Court, this Court is of the view that continuation of the criminal proceedings against the accused would serve no purpose, and in view of the guidelines laid down by Hon’ble Supreme Court, by exercising inherent powers under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the further proceedings against the accused can be quashed by this Court. 6. Therefore, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings in CC No.834 of 2010 on the file of the XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, are hereby quashed. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed in this Criminal Petition shall stand closed. __________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO August 09, 2011. KTL
