It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that during pendency of the Criminal Petition, at the intervention of elders and well wishers, both the parties compromised the matter out of Court. Therefore, he prayed to quash the proceedings against the petitioners in the calendar case. The petitioners and the father of defacto complainant-2nd respondent are present before this Court. The father of the defacto complainant stated that he was authorised by her daughter to settle, compromise and receive any amount with regard to withdrawal of the criminal proceedings and on the advice of elders and well-wishers, himself and the petitioners have compromised the matter and in view of the compromise with the petitioners by the consent of his daughter, the criminal proceedings lodged by his daughter against all the accused may be quashed. He also filed an affidavit on behalf of his daughter praying the Court to quash the proceedings in the calendar case. The learned Addl. Public Prosecutor submitted that there is no objection to quash the calendar case inasmuch as both the parties settled the matter amicably. In the light of the compromise arrived at between the parties, this Court is of the view that continuation of the criminal proceedings against the petitioners would serve no purpose and by invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. the proceedings in the calendar case can be quashed. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings initiated against the petitioners herein in C.C.No.649 of 2008 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Huzurnagar, Nalgonda District, are hereby quashed.
