This Criminal Petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is filed by the petitioners/accused seeking to quash the further proceedings in S.C.No.220 of 2018 on the file of the Assistant Sessions Judge at Sathupally, for the offence punishable under Sections 354 (D) and 307 read with 34 of Indian Penal Code.

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 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 accused and she has no intention to prosecute the matter further.

5. 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 are related to each other and in view of the compromise entered between the parties, this Court is of the view that no purpose would be served by continuing the proceedings against the petitioners/accused. Hence, I.A.Nos.3 and 4 of 2019 are allowed and consequently the Criminal Petition is also allowed. The further proceedings in S.C.No.220 of 2018 pending on the file of the Assistant Sessions Judge, Sathupally, against the petitioners are hereby quashed.

Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed in the light of this final order.
