IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD FRIDAY, THE TWENTY FIRST DAY OF AUGUST TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE G. BHAVANI PRASAD CRIMINAL PETITION NO.6599 OF 2009 Between: Smt. N. Manjula. ..... PETITIONER. AND N. Ravi and five others. ..... RESPONDENTS. Petition under Section 482 of Cr.P.C praying that in the circumstances stated in the grounds filed therewith, the High Court will be pleased to quash the proceedings in C.C. No.1029 of 2007 on the file of XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate at Hyderabad. The Petition coming on for hearing, upon perusing the Petition and the grounds filed in support thereof and upon hearing the arguments of Mr. M. SHANKER, Advocate for the Petitioner and of Sri M. Srinivas, Advocate for the respondents 1 to 5 and the Public Prosecutor, on behalf of the sixth Respondent, the Court made the following: HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G. BHAVANI PRASAD CRIMINAL PETITION NO.6599 OF 2009 ORDER: The petitioner and respondents 1 to 5 are present before the court and they stated that they settled all the disputes and compounded all the offences and hence further proceedings may be quashed. The petitioner and respondents 1 to 5 are identified by Sri M. Shanker, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri M. Srinivas, learned counsel who is entering appearance for respondents 1 to 5. A perusal of the material papers on record shows that the disputes are purely personal in nature not involving any public policy and in view of the compromise, the continuance of the prosecution becomes a futile exercise. A pragmatic view has to be taken to exercise the inherent jurisdiction and further proceedings have to be accordingly quashed. Therefore, the further proceedings in C.C. No.1029 of 2007 on the file of XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, are quashed and the Criminal petition is allowed accordingly. ____________________ G.BHAVANI PRASAD, J Date: 21-08-2009.
