HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.M.P.No.12238 of 2011 & CRIMINAL PETITION No.10958 of 2011 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed by the petitioner-de facto complainant, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against respondent Nos.2 to 8 herein in Crime No.152 of 2011 of P.S. Rein Bazar, Hyderabad, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 147, 148, 448, 324, 427 read with 149 of IPC. When the matter is taken up for hearing, it is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned counsel for respondent Nos.2 to 8 that during pendency of the Criminal Petition, at the intervention of elders and well wishers, both the parties compromised the matter out of Court and in this regard they filed Crl.P.M.P.No.12238 of 2011 with a prayer to permit them to compound the offence and to record the compromise. Therefore, they prayed to quash the proceedings against respondent Nos.2 to 8 in the crime. The petitioner and respondent Nos.2 to 8 are present before this Court. The petitioner stated that on the advice of elders and well- wishers, himself and respondent Nos.2 to 8 have compromised the matter out of Court and therefore he intends to withdraw the criminal proceedings pending against respondent Nos.2 to 8 with free will and consent and there is no coercion or undue influence from any other side for the same. 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 compromise arrived at between the parties, this Court is of the view that continuation of the criminal proceedings against respondent Nos.2 to 8 would serve no purpose and invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. the proceedings in the crime can be quashed by compounding the offence. Accordingly, Crl.M.P.No.12238 of 2011 and the Criminal Petition are allowed and the proceedings initiated against respondent Nos. 2 to 8 herein in Crime No.152 of 2011 of P.S. Rein Bazar, Hyderabad, are hereby quashed. Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 31st October, 2011 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.M.P.No.12238 of 2011 & CRIMINAL PETITION No.10958 of 2011 (Allowed) 31st October, 2011 cbs
