Mohammed Massooduddin v. The State Of Telangana

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M. SATYANARAYANA MURTHY of and .

s No .

.I and Crl.P.No.8211 of 2018 COMMON ORDER The criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.373 of 2016 on the file of the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate at Hyderabad, registered for the offence punishable under Section 332 IPC, against the petitioner/accused. 2.

I.A.Nos.2 and 3 of 2018 are filed under Sections 320(2) and 320(6) of Cr.P.C., by both parties seeking leave of this Court to compound the offence and to record compromise as the matter was settled out of the Court due to intervention of the elders and to quash the proceedings in the aforesaid case.

3.

Today, when the matter came up for hearing, the second respondent/de-facto complainant and the petitioner/accused are present and they are identified by their respective counsel. They filed photostat copies of Aadhar cards in proof of their identity. 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 and that the defacto complainant stated that the accused provided medical expenses for the injury received by him and the compromise is voluntary in the interest of both the parties.

4. Since the offence is against an individual and not against the societal interest, I find that it is a fit case to grant leave to the parties to compound the offence and to quash the proceedings against the petitioner/accused.

5. In the result, I.A.Nos.2 and 3 of 2018 are ordered. Consequently, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings in C.C.No.373 of 2016 on the file of the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, are quashed against the petitioner/accused. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in the criminal petition, shall stand closed.
