HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRL. P. NO.9038 of 2010 DATE: 05.10.2010 BETWEEN: Basava Surender Goud and others .. Petitioners And The State of A.P. and another ` .. Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRL. P. NO.9038 of 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C seeking to quash the proceedings in P.R.C.No.59 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Vikarabad registered for the offences punishable under Section 363 IPC and Section 3(i)(x) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the second respondent and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing the State. The allegation made by the second respondent/de facto complainant in his report on 25.08.2008 against the petitioners is that when his wife Smt. Padma, MPTC, Somangurthi attended the office of the Revenue Divisional Officer, Vikarabad in connection with no confidence motion moved against MPTC, his wife was kidnapped in a car by the petitioners and the said incident was informed to him by one Manchanpalli L.Satyanarayana over phone. Basing on the said report, the Police Vikarabad registered a case in Crime No.286 of 2008 initially for the offences punishable under Section 363 IPC and subsequently, during the course of investigation, they added Sections 392 IPC and Section 3(i)(x) of the Scheduled Castes and Schedule Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and filed charge sheet after completing investigation. The second respondent/de facto complainant stated that even according to the report lodged by him, he is not a witness to the incident and further, subsequent to the filing of charge sheet, he compromised the matter with the accused and he is no longer interested to prosecute the case. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners would submit that the case arises out of political rivalry between the two groups and both the parties have compromised the matter. Even though the offence under Section 363 IPC and Section 3(i)(x) of the Scheduled Castes and Schedule Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act are non-compoundable, in view of the facts and circumstances of the case and in view of the compromise between the parties, this Court is of the view that no useful purpose will be served in keeping the PRC pending before the learned Magistrate, the reason being in view of the compromise, there is no possibility of the de facto complainant and the witnesses supporting the prosecution version and it would result in lot of inconvenience to the parties. For the reasons aforementioned and in view of the compromise entered between the parties, the entire proceedings in P.R.C.No.59 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Vikarabad registered for the offences punishable under Section 363 IPC and Section 3(i)(x) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 are hereby quashed. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed. ___________________ R.KANTHA RAO,J Date: 05.10.2010 kvrm HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRL. P. NO.9038 of 2010 DATE: 05.10.2010
