IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH : HYDERABAD TUESDAY, THE FOURTEENTH (14TH) DAY OF DECEMBER, TWO THOUSAND AND TEN Present: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY Criminal Petition No.7858 of 2009 Between: Vadde Naasaraiah & 5 others … Petitioners-A.2 to A.7 And: Smt. Vadde Jyothi & another … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY Criminal Petition No.7858 of 2009 ORDER: Petitioners-A.2 to A.7 and first respondent are present. Sri Eranki Phani Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri O.Kailashnath Reddy, learned counsel for the first respondent- complainant, are also present. 2. It is stated that both the parties have settled the dispute out side the Court amicably and entered into a compromise and in pursuance of the said compromise, further proceedings in CC No.397 of 2009 on the file of the Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Kothagudem, Khammam district against A.1-husband of the complainant, were quashed by this Court by order dated 07.07.2010 in Crl.P.No.3925 of 2010. The first respondent further stated that in pursuance of the compromise, the marriage between herself and A.1 has been dissolved by decree of divorce with mutual consent and she also received a sum of Rs.20,00,000/- towards permanent alimony and therefore, she is no longer interested in prosecuting the case against the petitioners herein, who are A.2 to A.7 in CC No.397 of 2009. 3. In view of the compromise entered into between both parties and in view of the earlier order dated 07.07.2010 in Crl.P.No.3925 of 2010, it is considered that no useful purpose would be served in continuing further proceedings against the petitioners-A.2 to A.7 and it is a fit case where the inherent powers of the Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. can be invoked to quash further proceedings against the petitioners. Hence further proceedings against the petitioners-A.2 to A.7 in CC No.397 of 2009 on the file of the I Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Kothagudem are held liable to be quashed and they are accordingly quashed. 4. In the result, the criminal petition is disposed of as stated above. ____________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J Date: 14.12.2010 bss
