THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRL.P.NOs.8414 & 9448 OF 2009 & Tr.CRL.P.No.213 OF 2009 COMMON ORDER: 1 These three matters are disposed of by this common order having regard to the fact that the parties are one and the same in all these matters. For the sake of convenience, the parties will hereinafter be referred to as husband and wife. 2 Husband and others filed Criminal Petition No.8414 of 2009 to quash the proceedings in DVC No.17 of 2009 on the file of the court of the I Additional Judicial Magistrate of I Class, Khammam stating that continuance of the said proceedings is abuse of process of the court. The husband and others also filed Criminal Petition No.9448 of 2009 to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.495 of 2009 pending on the file of the very same court, taken on file for the offence punishable under section 498-A of IPC and under sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. 3 It appears, there are two more matters between the parties i.e. M.C.No.23 of 2009 filed by the wife under section 125 of Cr.P.C. for maintenance and OP No.221 of 2009 a petition filed by the husband under section 13(1) of the Hindu Marriage Act seeking divorce are pending. Hence the husband also filed Tr.Crl.P.No.213 of 2009 to withdraw the M.C.23 of 2009 pending on the file of the Judge, Family Court Khammam and to transfer the same to the Family Court at Warangal to be tried along with OP No.221 of 2009. 4 When these matters are pending before this court, it appears, the wife and husband entered into a compromise and in the light of the said compromise, they approached the Family Court at Warangal and filed I.A.No.132 of 2010 to convert the OP No.221 of 2009 from a petition for divorce to a petition for divorce by mutual consent and the matter was referred to Lok Adalat for necessary action. In the light of the said compromise entered into between the parties, they requested this court to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.495 of 2009 and DVC No.17 of 2009. 5 On 08.10.2010 both husband and wife were present before the court and when questioned the wife admitted that there is a compromise between the parties and she is not pressing the said DVC 17 of 2009 and C.C.No.495 of 2009 pending before the I Additional Judicial Magistrate of I Class, Khammam. In the light of the said compromise entered into between the parties, these two petitions are allowed and the proceedings in DVC 17 of 2009 and C.C.No.495 of 2009 pending before the I Additional Judicial Magistrate of I Class, Khammam and the proceedings in M.C.No.23 of 2009 filed by the wife under section 125 of Cr.P.C. for maintenance which is pending before the Judge, Family Court Khammam are hereby quashed. 6 In so far as the OP No.221 of 2009 is concerned, as the matter has already been referred to Lok Adalat and the Lok Adalat is taking up necessary action pursuant to the reference, the Lok Adalat concerned is hereby directed to pass appropriate orders after recording the compromise entered into between the parties. The Tr.Crl.P.No.213 of 2009 is accordingly disposed of. -------------- 20.10.2010 Kvsn
