2.

I.A.Nos.3 and 4 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. Along with the affidavits, they filed a memorandum of compromise stating that due to intervention of the elders and well-wishers, the petitioners/A1 and A2 and the 1st respondent-de-facto complainant have settled the matter amicably out of Court.

Today, when the matter came up for hearing, the 1st respondent/de-facto complainant and A2 are present and A1 filed a power of attorney nominating his mother A1 on his behalf and the same shall form part of the record, and they are identified by their respective counsel. When this Court enquired the parties, the defacto complainant and A2 stated that they entered into compromise due to intervention of the elders and the de-facto complainant has received the settlement amount.

4. In view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, 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 petitioners/A1 and A2.

5. In the result, I.A.Nos.3 and 4 of 2019 are ordered. Consequently, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings in C.C.No.529 of 2016 on the file of XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, are hereby quashed against the petitioners/A1 and A2. Miscellaneous petitions, if any pending in the criminal petition, shall stand closed.
