THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO. CRL. PETITION No. 9646 of 2010. ORDER: This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No. 699 of 2010 (old C.C.No. 1083 of 2007). on the file of the XV Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad. On the complaint lodged by the 2nd respondent a case in Cr.No. 119 of 2007 under Sections 498-A IPC and under Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act was registered against the petitioners by the police, Women Police Station, Begumpet and after completion of investigation, a charge sheet was filed, which was numbered as C.C.No. 699 of 2010 on the file of XV Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad. When FCA.Nos. 2 and 3 of 2010 filed by the 1st petitioner and 2nd respondent came up for hearing before this Court, the 1st petitioner and the 2nd respondent have compromised the matter and both the parties agreed to take consent divorce on payment of Rs. 10,00,000/- to the 2nd respondent and recording the compromise, this Court dismissed both the appeals. Today, the 2nd respondent/de facto complainant and the 1st petitioner are present before this Court with their respective counsel and the 2nd respondent admitted about the compromise between them and stated that she has no objection to quash the proceedings in C.C.No. 699 of 2010. As the offences under Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act are non-compoundable, the present criminal petition is filed seeking to quash the proceedings. Since the parties have compromised the matter, there is no likelihood bringing home the guilt of the petitioners for the alleged offences, I am of the opinion that the proceedings can be quashed, to avoid hardship and inconvenience to the parties. Accordingly, the entire proceedings in C.C.No. 699 of 2010 (old C.C.No. 1083 of 2007), on the file of the XV Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad are hereby quashed. The criminal petition is allowed. ____________________ R.KANTHA RAO,J 04.10.2010. KRB. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO. CRL. PETITION No. 9646 of 2010. ORDER: Dt. 04.10.2010.
