HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.7655 of 2011 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed by the petitioner/Accused with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against him in C.C.No.239 of 2010 on the file of the III Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Vijayawada, Krishna District. Heard. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the parties are intending to compound the offence, hence, prayed to permit the parties to compound the offence and quash the proceedings against the petitioner. Though the parties are intending to compound the offence, this Court is of the view that since the offence alleged is punishable under Section 304-A IPC and there is no provision for compounding the alleged offence, the parties cannot be permitted to compound the offence. But, at the same time, considering the fact that the parties have come forward to compound the offence, the trial Court is directed to conclude the trial as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from today. Accordingly, the criminal petition is disposed of. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this criminal petition shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 25.11.2011 v v
