This Criminal Petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is filed by the petitioners/accused Nos.2 to 4 seeking to quash the further proceedings in C.C.No.257 of 2017 on the file of the XIV Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad, L.B.Nagar, for the offence punishable under Sections 498A, 406 and 506 of Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act.

2. Heard both sides and perused the record.

3. I.A.No.3 of 2019 is filed seeking to accord permission to the petitioners to compound the offences whereas I.A.No.4 of 2019 is filed praying to record compromise entered between the parties.

4. A Joint memo has been filed by both the parties i.e. petitioners as well as the de facto complainant, duly signed by them, stating that during the pendency of the criminal, A.1 died due to ill-health. Thereafter, they have resolved their issues and entered into an amicable settlement at the intervention of elders and well wishers. In the affidavit filed in support of I.A.No.4 of 2019, it has been stated by the de facto complainant that she has amicably settled the matter with the petitioners and she has no intention to prosecute the matter further.

5. Today, the parties are present in-person before the Court and they are duly identified by their respective counsel. The de facto complainant asserted in the Court that she is not interested in prosecuting the matter further.

6. Since the parties have entered into a compromise, this Court is of the view that no purpose would be served by continuing the proceedings against the petitioners/accused Nos.3 and 4. Hence, I.A.Nos.3 and 4 of 2019 are allowed and consequently the Criminal Petition is also allowed. The further proceedings in C.C.No.257 of 2017 pending on the file of the XIV Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad, L.B.Nagar, against the petitioners are hereby quashed. Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed in the light of this final order.
