THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.P.M.P.No.6408 of 2016 IN/AND Crl.P.No.5510 OF 2016 COMMON ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 by the petitioners/A-1 to A-4 seeking to quash the proceedings in Crime No.94 of 2016 of Neredmet Police Station pending on the file of the XX Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at Malkajgiri, Ranga Reddy District.

2. Heard and perused the material on record.

3. The offence alleged against the petitioners is punishable under Section 498-A I.P.C. During pendency of the petition, the de facto complainant filed Crl.P.M.P.No.6408 of 2016 to compound the offence and to compromise the matter by recording the compromise entered into between herself and the accused. She also filed a joint memo for compromising the matter.

4. Both parties are present and they are identified by their respective counsel. In view of the compromise arrived at between the parties, continuation of proceedings against the petitioners/ A-1 to A-4 would be an exercise in futility. In a case of this nature, the Courts would be justified in invoking its inherent jurisdiction and the technicalities should not be allowed to stand in the way of Courts' power to quash the criminal proceedings even in the case of non compoundable offences.

5. In the above circumstances and in view of the compromise, this Court feels that it is just and proper to quash the proceedings against the petitioners herein.

6. Accordingly, Crl.M.P.No.6408 of 2016 is ordered and the Criminal

Petition is allowed quashing the proceedings in Crime No.94 of 2016 of Neredmet Police Station pending on the file of the XX Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at Malkajgiri, Ranga Reddy District.

7. Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, in this Criminal Petition shall stand closed.
