HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.P.M.P.No.7585 OF 2010 AND CRIMINAL PETITION No.4953 OF 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed by the petitioners-accused, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No.293 of 2010 of Saroornagar (Sho-CI) P.S., Cyberabad, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 457 and 380 IPC. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that during pendency of the criminal petition, the matter was settled out of Court amicably between the parties and to that effect Crl.P.M.P.No.7585 of 2010 is filed before this Court by both parties seeking permission to compromise the matter. Therefore, he prayed to allow the compromise petition and quash the proceedings in the Crime. The petitioners and the 2nd respondent-defacto complainant are present before this Court. The 2nd respondent produced his identity and the same is verified by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. He stated that himself and the petitioners have compromised the matter out of Court and therefore he intends to withdraw the criminal proceedings pending against the petitioners with free will and consent and there is no coercion or undue influence from any other side for the same. He also filed an affidavit before this Court, which runs as follows: “I made a police complaint before the S.H.O., Saroornagar P.S., R.R. District, for the theft of two computers, one I-Pod and one camera. The police registered the case and investigated into it. They seized the articles from A.1 to A.3 and delivered them to me. I am in possession of the same. I came to know that A.1 to A.3 are my colleagues in the same college. They requested me to compromise the matter. Since the police gave the stolen articles to me, I am willing to compromise the case. We are all students in same course. Therefore, I am willing to compromise the matter. They also realised it. In view of the above, the Hon’ble Court may be pleased to allow me to compromise the case and it may be closed.” The learned Addl. Public Prosecutor submitted that there is no objection to quash the Crime inasmuch as both the parties settled the matter amicably. In the light of the settlement arrived at between the parties, this Court is of the view that the proceedings in the Crime can be quashed. Accordingly, the Crl.P.M.P.7585 of 2010 and the Criminal Petition are allowed and the proceedings in Crime No.293 of 2010 of Saroornagar (Sho- CI) P.S., are hereby quashed. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 10th August, 2010 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.P.M.P.No.7585 OF 2010 AND CRIMINAL PETITION No.4953 OF 2010 (Allowed) 10th August, 2010 CBS
