HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR I.A.Nos.1 and 2 of 2019 in Crl.P.No.9174 of 2015 I.A.Nos.3 and 4 of 2019 in Crl.P.No.2534 of 2019 and Crl.P.Nos.9174 of 2015 and 2534 of 2019 COMMON ORDER:

Criminal Petition No.9174 of 2015 was filed by accused Nos.3 and 4 in C.C.No.174 of 2015 on the file of the learned III Metropolitan Magistrate at L.B.Nagar, Hyderabad, to quash the proceedings therein.

Criminal Petition No.2534 of 2019 was filed by accused Nos.1 and 2 in C.C.No.174 of 2015 on the file of the learned III Metropolitan Magistrate at L.B.Nagar, Hyderabad, to quash the proceedings therein.

The said case arose out of Crime No.575 of 2014 on the file of Uppal Police Station, Cyberabad District, registered under Section 498-A I.P.C. on the strength of the complaint made by the respondent No.2-wife.

While so, it appears that the parties settled their disputes amicably and in consequence, I.A.Nos.1 and 2 of 2019 were filed in Crl.P.No.9174 of 2015 and I.A.Nos.3 and 4 of 2019 were filed in Crl.P.No.2534 of 2019 to permit and record the compromise in relation to the pending case so as to compound the offences and quash the proceedings therein.

An offence under Section 498-A IPC is compoundable in the State of Telangana pursuant to the State amendment to Section 320 CrPC, vide A.P. Act 11 of 2003 with effect from 01.8.2003.

The couple are present before this Court and produced their respective Aadhar cards in proof of their identity. The wife stated in open Court that she has settled her differences with her husband and her in-laws and is now willing to live peacefully with them. She further stated that they have already started living together. In that view of the matter, as the parties have settled their disputes and resumed their marital life, this Court sees no purpose served in wasting the State's resources in prosecuting the subject case which has now become purely academic.

In that view of the matter, I.A.Nos.1 and 2 of 2019 in Crl.P.No.9174 of 2015 and I.A.Nos.3 and 4 of 2019 in Crl.P.No.2534 of 2019 are ordered. In consequence, Criminal Petition Nos.9174 of 2015 and 2534 of 2019 are allowed and the proceedings in C.C.No.174 of 2015 on the file of the learned III Metropolitan Magistrate at L.B.Nagar, Hyderabad, are quashed. Other pending miscellaneous petitions in these cases, if any, shall stand closed in the light of this final order. ________________________ JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR 01st May, 2019 dr
