It is also stated that as per the terms of the compromise, 1st respondent has received a sum of Rs.3,00,000/- today by way of demand draft bearing No.691034 drawn on Andhra Bank, Hindupur, and that another demand draft bearing No.691033, drawn on Andhra Bank, Hindupur, for the balance amount of Rs.3,75,000/-, is also obtained and the same will be handed over to the 1st respondent after the orders of divorce are passed in O.P.No.101 of 2010. 4. Sri T.Pradyumna Kumar Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners, states that the said demand draft bearing No.691033 for Rs.3,75,000/- is with him and the same will be handed over to the 1st respondent after orders of divorce are passed in O.P.No.101 of 2010 and the 1st respondent stated that in view of the compromise and settlement of dispute outside the Court, she is no more interested in prosecuting the petitioners-A2 and A3 in C.C.No.622 of 2009 pending on the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Kurnool. To that effect, she filed an affidavit and the same is placed on record. 5. Having regard to the fact that the matrimonial dispute has been settled out side the Court and both parties have entered into memorandum of understanding and the 1st respondent- complainant is no more interested in prosecuting criminal proceedings against the petitioners-A2 and A3, it is considered that no useful purpose would be served by continuing further proceedings in C.C.No.622 of 2009 on the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Kurnool against the petitioners- A2 and A3. It is therefore considered a fit case to invoke inherent powers of this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash further proceedings against the petitioners-A2 and A3 in C.C.No.622 of 2009 on the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Kurnool. 6. In the circumstances, further proceedings in C.C.No.622 of 2009 on the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Kurnool, against the petitioners-A2 and A3 are held liable to be quashed and are accordingly quashed. 7. In the result, Criminal Petition is disposed of. _______________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 07th December, 2010 Tsy
