Manikya Prabhu, learned counsel for the petitioner. The petition itself has been filed stating that the parties settled their differences at the intervention of elders and that the petitioner is leading happy matrimonial life with the 1st respondent since the compromise and that hence, the further proceedings in the crime may be quashed. The petitioner and respondents 1 to 3 have also filed Crl.P.M.P. No.6180 of 2009 for permission to compound the offences. The material on record shows the disputes to be purely personal in nature not involving any public policy and the petitioner stated before the Court also that after settlement of her differences with her husband, she is leading a happy marital life and hence, the criminal proceedings may be quashed. There is no purpose in continuing the prosecution in view of the compromise and the inherent jurisdiction of the Court can be exercised even if the disputes involve some non-compoundable offences by taking a pragmatic view as advised by the Apex Court. Therefore, the further proceedings in Crime No.28 of 2009 on the file of Ibrahimpatnam Police Station, Ranga Reddy District against respondents 1 to 3 are quashed and the criminal petition and the criminal miscellaneous petition are allowed accordingly. The parties are informed. _____________________ G. BHAVANI PRASAD, J Date: 27-08-2009 Svv
