Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, wherein he is facing trial for the offences under Sections 382 IPC. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the defacto complainant-1st respondent herein 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, the 1st respondent filed his affidavit along with petition being Crl.P.M.P.No.14463 of 2011 with a prayer to permit him to compound the offence. Therefore, they prayed to quash the proceedings against the petitioners in the crime. The petitioner and the 1st respondent are present before this Court. The 1st respondent produced his identity and the same is verified by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. He stated that as the matter has been settled between the parties before the elders, he intends to withdraw the criminal proceedings pending against the petitioner with free will and consent and there is no coercion or undue influence from any other side for the same. In the affidavit filed by the 1st respondent, it is stated that in view of the fact that the owner of the car and the petitioner herein are close friends since long time, the matter has been settled before the elders and as such he is not interested to prosecute the case further. The learned Addl. Public Prosecutor submitted that there is no objection to quash the C.C. 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 the proceedings in the C.C. can be quashed. Accordingly, the Crl.P.M.P.14463/2011 and the Criminal Petition No.2287/2011 are allowed and the proceedings in C.C.No.9 of 2010 on the file of the XII Addl.
