IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD MONDAY, THE FOURTEENTH DAY OF SEPTEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND NINE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G. BHAVANI PRASAD Criminal Petition No.7255 of 2009 Between: Ghulam Dastagir .. Petitioner AND Ghousia Begum and another .. Respondents ORDER: The petitioner and the first respondent are present in person before the Court and they are identified by Sri T. Pradyumna Kumar Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri M.A. Mujeeb, learned counsel for the first respondent. The Criminal Petition itself was filed stating that the matter was settled out of court with the intervention of the elders and well wishers and a copy of the memorandum of settlement dated 26-08-2009 entered into between the parties was also filed. The first respondent and the petitioner stated before the Court also that they settled all their differences and compromised the matter and requested for quashing of further proceedings. The material on record shows that the disputes are purely personal in nature not involving any public policy and in view of the compromise, any continuance of further proceedings will be a futile exercise and the inherent jurisdiction has to be invoked in such cases to put an end to the vexing litigation. Accordingly, the further proceedings in Cr.No.377 of 2009 on the file of Vanasthalipuram Police Station, Ranga Reddy District against the petitioner are quashed and the Criminal Petition is allowed. The parties are informed. _____________________ G. BHAVANI PRASAD, J Date: 14-09-2009 Ksn
