I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor for the State. The allegation against the petitioner/accused No.2 is that the petitioner’s wife, who was running the chits became due of an amount of Rs.25,000/- to the second respondent which was paid by the second respondent in installments. Basing on the report lodged by the second respondent a case in Crime No.497 of 2002 of Central Crime Station, Hyderabad was registered for the offence punishable under Section 420 IPC. While the petition to quash the proceedings is pending before this Court, the parties compromised the matter and filed a compromise petition. Both the parties are present and the second respondent admitted that they have compromised the matter by receiving an amount of Rs.25,000/- from the petitioner and the proceedings in Crime No.497 of 2002 can be quashed. Since the matter is at the crime stage and in view of the compromise between the parties, this Court is of the view that to avoid unnecessary further litigation between them and also to avoid hardship to the parties, the proceedings in Crime No.497 of 2002 can be quashed. For the foregoing reasons, all the proceedings in Crime No.497 of 2002 are hereby quashed. Accordingly, the criminal petition is allowed. _______________ R.KANTHA RAO,J Date: 17.09.2010 kvrm HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION NO.9243 OF 2010 DATE: 17.09.2010
