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. Along with the affidavits, they filed a joint memo of compromise stating that the 2nd respondent lodged a complaint against the petitioner, based on which, the aforesaid crime was registered against him. It is stated that the petitioner and the 2nd respondent are husband and wife and due to disputes, the 2nd respondent filed FCOP No.2724 of 2018 on the file of the IV Additional District Judge-cum-Family Court, Ranga Reddy District, and that while she was attending the Court, the petitioner abused her in filthy language, caught hold of her chunni and dragged her and hence, the present complaint was lodged.

However, during pendency of investigation, due to intervention of the elders and wellwishers, they have settled the dispute amicably and the petitioner agreed to pay a sum of Rs.

and they will not claim in future against each other and that the 2nd respondent agreed to withdraw the present case. 3.

Today, when the matter came up for hearing, the 2nd respondent/de-facto complainant and the petitioner/accused are present and they are identified by their respective counsel. They filed xerox copies of their aadhar cards before this Court. 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 petitioner/accused.

5. In the result, I.A.Nos.3 and 4 of 2019 are ordered. Consequently, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings in Cr.No.233 of 2019 on the file of L.B.Nagar L & O Police Station, Rachakonda District, are hereby quashed against the petitioner/accused.

6. Miscellaneous petitions, if any pending in the criminal petition, shall stand closed.
