THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY I.A.Nos. 1 & 2 OF 2018 IN/AND CRIMINAL PETITION NO.11357 OF 2016 ORDER:

I.A.Nos. 1 & 2 OF 2018 These miscellaneous petitions are filed seeking permission of this Court to record compromise and compound the offences in C.C.No.167 of 2015, learned Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Markapur, for the offences punishable under Section 498-A, 509, 506, 34 IPC and Sections 3 & 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. The second respondent filed a complaint before the police. On the strength of the complaint, crime was registered and the police issued F.I.R. At the crime stage, both the parties entered into compromise, settled the claims against one another and decided not to proceed against one another, thereby, resolved the dispute amicably.

Both the first petitioner and second respondent are present and they are identified by their respective counsels and produced Photostat copies of Aadhar cards to prove their identity. When terms of compromise are explained in vernacular language, they are admitted to be true and correct. Further, it is now submitted that, first petitioner and second respondent have agreed for divorce by mutual consent and they are living separately and both parties have voluntarily entered into compromise due to

MSM,J CrlP_11357_2016 intervention of elders and well-wishers and they wanted to lead peaceful life in future.

Hence, taking into consideration the facts of the case, leave is granted to compound the offence to maintain peace and harmony between the parties. Therefore, I find that the compromise is voluntary, in the interest of both parties and permission is granted to compound the offence.

Hence, compromise is recorded in terms of the joint memo filed along with these petitions. Accordingly, these petitions are ordered. Crl.P.NO.11357 OF 2016 In view of the order passed by this Court in I.A.Nos.1 & 2 of 2018, this criminal petition is allowed and the proceedings in C.C.No.167 of 2015, learned Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Markapur, are hereby quashed.

Registry is directed to annex a copy of joint memo filed by both the parties, to this order.

Consequently, miscellaneous applications pending if any, shall also stand closed. No costs.
