Kuncham Chiranjeevi v. The State Of Telangana

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY I.A.No.02 of 2018 IN/AND CRIMINAL PETITION NO.5023 OF 2018 ORDER:

I.A.No.02 of 2018 This miscellaneous petition is filed under Section 320 read with 482 of Criminal Procedure Code (for short "Cr.P.C.") seeking leave to compound the offences punishable under Section 498-A of Indian Penal Code (for short "I.P.C.") and under Sections 4 and 6 of Dowry Prohibition Act, as the matter is settled outside the Court and they entered into compromise and filed joint memo to that effect.

Complainant and the petitioners/accused are also present and they are identified by their counsel and Public Prosecutor, produced Photostat copies of aadhar cards in proof of their identity. When terms and conditions of compromise are explained in vernacular language, they are admitted to be true and correct. On enquiry the parties stated that they settled the issue outside the Court due to intervention of elders and well-wishers and they intend to lead peaceful life.

The offence punishable under Section 498-A of I.P.C. though not compoundable, it can be compounded with the permission of the Court.

In view of the close relationship between the parties and as the offence committed by the petitioners is not against the society and the compromise is voluntary, I find that it is a fit case to grant

MSM,J Crl.P_5023_2018 permission to compound the offence. Hence, compromise is recorded in terms of the joint memo filed along with the petition. Accordingly, the petition is ordered.

Crl.P.No.5023 Of 2018 In view of the orders passed in I.A.No.02 of 2018, the present petition is allowed in terms of the joint compromise memo filed by both parties. No costs.

Registry is directed to annex a copy of the joint memo filed by both parties, to this order.

Consequently, miscellaneous applications pending if any, shall stand dismissed.
