The Petition coming on for hearing, upon perusing the Petition and the grounds filed in support thereof and upon hearing the arguments of Mr. G. ARUN KUMAR, Advocate for the Petitioners and of the Public Prosecutor, on behalf of the first Respondent, the Court made the following: HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G. BHAVANI PRASAD CRIMINAL PETITION NO.1028 OF 2009 ORDER: The petitioners and the second respondent are present before the Court and they are identified by Smt. K. Rajitha, learned counsel for the second respondent and Sri G. Arun Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioners. The petition has been filed on the ground that parties entered into a memo of understanding on 10-02-2009 regarding the disputes and differences including the subject matter of Crime No.366 of 2008 of Malkajgiri police station. The second respondent stated before the Court also that, he compounded all the offences and compromised with the petitioners and hence the further proceedings in the Crime may be quashed. The copy of the Memorandum of understanding dated 10-02-2009 was also filed into the Court. A perusal of the material on record shows that the disputes are purely personal in nature not involving any public policy and any continuance of the prosecution will be a futile exercise. Taking a pragmatic view, this Court shall invoke its inherent jurisdiction to quash the proceedings in such cases as advised by the Apex Court. Therefore, the further proceedings in Crime No.366 of 2008 on the file of Malakajgiri police station are quashed, the Criminal petition is allowed accordingly, the parties are informed. ____________________ G.BHAVANI PRASAD, J Date: 24-08-2009.
