The petitioners-A.1 to A.4 and the first respondent - de facto complainant and their respective counsel are present. Heard both sides.

On the complaint lodged by the first respondent, the Station House Officer, Osmania University Police Station, Hyderabad City, registered a case in Crime No.311 of 2018 and after investigation, laid charge sheet against the petitioners for the offences punishable under Sections 323 and 448 I.P.C. and Section 3(1)(r)(s) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 2015. The said Crime was taken on file as Spl.S.C.No.27 of 2019 on the file of VI Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Secunderabad.

Now, I.A.No.3 is filed by the first respondent to record the compromise, by quashing the proceedings in Spl.S.C.No.27 of 2019, by stating that the matter is settled outside the Court amicably. The first respondent and the petitioners filed a joint memo along with I.A.No.3 of 2019 to that effect.

Today, when the matter is taken up, the first respondent stated that he has no objection for compounding the offences.

Considering the above and in view of the decision reported in Gian Singh Vs. State of Punjab and another1, I.A.No.3 of 2019 is allowed and the parties are permitted to compound the offences in Spl.S.C.No.27 of 2019 on the file of VI Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Secunderabad.

Consequently, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings against the petitioners-A.1 to A.4 in Spl.S.C.No.27 of 2019 are hereby quashed.

Consequently, miscellaneous applications, if any shall stand disposed of.
