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. Along with the affidavits, they filed a joint memo of compromise stating that the 1st respondent-de facto complainant has agreed to withdraw the aforesaid C.C., and O.P.No.989 of 2016 on the file of the Judge, Family Court, Ranga Reddy, filed for restitution of conjugal rights and that they also filed O.P.No.445 of 2018 on the file of the Judge, Family Court, City Civil Courts, Hyderabad, for divorce by mutual consent. They also agreed that they will not claim any right on their movable or immovable properties and they will not file any civil or criminal cases against each other in future.

Today, when the matter came up for hearing, the 1st respondent/de-facto complainant and the petitioners/A1 to A5 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.

Consequently, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings in C.C.No.10778 of 2019 on the file of XV Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Nampally, Hyderabad, are hereby quashed against the petitioners/A1 to A5.
