HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.BHAVANI PRASAD Criminal Petition No.5727 of 2009 and Crl.P.M.P.No.7634 of 2009 Dated : 24.09.2009 Between : Mylapalli Kumari and another ….. Petitioners a n d The State of A.P. and others ….. Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.BHAVANI PRASAD Criminal Petition No.5727 of 2009 and Crl.P.M.P.No.7634 of 2009 COMMON ORDER: Petitioners 1 and 2 and respondents 2 and 3 are present in person before the Court and they are identified by Sri T.Nageswara Rao, learned counsel for the petitioners. The parties present before the Court stated that they compromised all their disputes and compounded the offences and therefore, the further criminal proceedings may be quashed. The parties have filed jointly Crl.M.P.No.7634 of 2009 to the same effect. The material on record shows that the disputes are purely personal in nature not involving any public policy and the decision reported in Netai Dutta v. State of West Bengal[1] is relied on wherein the Apex Court held that proceedings in respect of an offence under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code without any factual foundation will only lead to sheer harassment of the accused without any fruitful result making it a fit case for exercise of the extraordinary power under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to quash the criminal proceedings. The facts of the present case more or less appear to be comparable and under the circumstances, the criminal proceedings should be allowed to end. Accordingly, the further proceedings in crime No.36 of 2009 on the file of Komarada Police Station, Vizianagaram District, against the petitioners are quashed and Crl.M.P.No.7634 of 2009 and the criminal petition are allowed. The parties are informed. ______________________ G.BHAVANI PRASAD, J 24th September, 2009 SUR [1] (2005) 2 Supreme Court Cases 659
