Nos .

.I and Crl.P.No.5803 of 2019 COMMON ORDER The criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C., to quash the proceedings in Cr.No.455 of 2019 on the file of Women Police Station, DD, Hyderabad, registered for the offences under Sections 498-A, 406 IPC and under Sections 4 and 6 of Dowry Prohibition Act, against the petitioners/A1 to A3. 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. Along with the affidavits, they filed a joint memo of compromise stating that they agreed to compromise the matter amicably and decided to dissolve their marriage by mutual consent and that the de-facto complainant agreed to receive a sum of Rs.5 lakhs towards welfare of the minor female child as well as permanent alimony and also assured that she will not claim any movable, immovable properties or maintenance against her husband in future. It is also stated in the joint memo that in FCOP No.535 of 2019 on the file of the Judge, Family Court, City Civil Court, Hyderabad, filed under Section 13(1)(ia) of Hindu Marriage Act, by A1, the de-facto complainant accepted to file a petition under Section 13-B of Hindu Marriage Act and the same is pending, and agreed that she does not want to prosecute the petitioners in future.

3.

Today, when the matter came up for hearing, the 2nd respondent/de-facto complainant and the petitioners/A1 to A3 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. In view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, I find that it is a fit case to record compromise between parties and to quash the proceedings against the petitioners/A1 to A3.

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.455 of 2019 on the file of Women Police Station, DD, Hyderabad, are hereby quashed against the petitioners/A1 to A3. Miscellaneous petitions, if any pending in the criminal petition, shall stand closed.
