Markuk Karnakar Goud v. Karrolla Kanakaiah And Another

THE HONOURABLE JUSTICE G. SRI DEVI of and .

Nos .

.I and Crl.P.No.4005 of 2019 COMMON ORDER The criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the proceedings in Cr.No.239 of 2018 on the file of Kuknoorpally Police Station, Siddipet District, registered for the offences under Sections 294, 504, IPC and under Section 3(1)(s) of SCs & STs (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 (for short 'the Act'), against the petitioner/accused. 2.

I.A.Nos.2 and 3 of 2019 are filed under Sections 320(6) and 320(2) of Cr.P.C., by both parties seeking leave of this Court to compound the offences and to record compromise as the matter was settled out of the Court due to intervention of the elders and wellwishers without any threat or coercion and prayed to quash the proceedings in the aforesaid case.

3.

Today, when the matter came up for hearing, the first respondent/de-facto complainant and the petitioner/accused are present and they are identified by their respective counsel. When this Court enquired the parties, the de-facto complainant and the accused stated that they entered into compromise due to intervention of the elders.

4. Though the offence under Section 3(1)(s) of the Act alleged against the petitioner is non-compoundable, by exercising

jurisdiction under Section 482 of Cr.P.C., and as the offence is not against the society, I find that it is a fit case to grant leave to the parties to compound the offences and to quash the proceedings against the petitioner/accused.

5. In the result, I.A.Nos.2 and 3 of 2019 are ordered. Consequently, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings in Cr.No.239 of 2018 on the file of Kuknoorpally Police Station, Siddipet District, are hereby quashed against the petitioner/accused. Miscellaneous petitions, if any pending in the criminal petition, shall stand closed.
