Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRL. P. NO.9538 of 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C seeking to quash the proceedings against the petitioners/A1 to A7 in F.I.R.No.108 of 2010 dated 03.09.2010 of Nidadavole Police Station, West Godavari District registered for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A, 420 read with 34 IPC. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned counsel appearing for the second respondent/de facto complainant. T h e de facto complainant, her husband/Petitioner No.1/A1, petitioner No.2-adoptive father of the first petitioner and the petitioner No.4-natural father of the first petitioner are present. They have stated that in view of the compromise, today an amount of Rs.21,00,000/- (Rupees twenty one lakhs only) is paid by the first petitioner to the de facto complainant by means of demand drafts. T h e de facto complainant stated that she compromised the matter with the accused and she is no longer interested to prosecute the case. Since the matter is at the crime stage, it causes much hardship and inconvenience to the parties, if they wait till the filing of the charge sheet by the police. Further this being a matrimonial matter, it is not desirable to allow the investigation to continue any longer. To meet the requirements of justice, I am of the considered view that the investigation is liable to be quashed. For the reasons aforementioned and in view of the compromise between the parties, the entire proceedings in F.I.R.No.108 of 2010 dated 03.09.2010 of Nidadavole Police Station, West Godavari District registered for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A, 420 read with 34 IPC are hereby quashed.
