K. Surender v. The State Of Telangana,

THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.M.P.Nos.4380 and 4381 OF 2016 & CRIMINAL PETITION No.3925 OF 2016 ORDER:

The above Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioner-accused under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings against him in FIR No.34 of 2016 on the file of Manchal Police Station, Cyberabad, Ranga Reddy District, registered for the offence punishable under Section 376 IPC. When this matter has come up, the 2nd respondent-de facto complainant and the petitioner, who appeared before this Court, represented through their Counsel that due to intervention of elders, they entered into compromise and therefore, the proceedings in the above crime may be quashed. The 2nd respondent-de facto complainant also filed an affidavit to that effect. Both the parties filed a memo of compromise also.

In view of the compromise arrived at between the parties, the continuation of the proceedings against the petitioner-accused would be the exercise in futility. In a case of this nature, the Courts would be justified in invoking its inherent jurisdiction, and the technicalities should not be allowed to stand in the way of Courts' power to quash the criminal proceedings even in the case of non-compoundable offences.

In the above circumstances and in view of the compromise, this Court is of the view that it is just and proper to quash the proceedings against the petitioner herein. Hence, the above Crl.M.Ps are ordered and the proceedings against the petitioner-accused in FIR No.34 of 2016 on the file of Manchal Police Station, Cyberabad, Ranga Reddy District, are quashed. The petitioner is directed to pay a sum of Rs.5,000/- (Rupees Five Thousand only) towards costs to the Telangana State Legal Services Authority, Hyderabad. The Registry is directed to issue a copy of this order to the parties concerned after furnishing a receipt of payment of costs. Accordingly, the above Crl.M.Ps are ordered and the Criminal Petition is allowed. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed.
