2.

I.A.Nos.1 and 2 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 and well-wishers. They stated that the petitioner has paid a sum of Rs.1,00,000/- to the second respondentde facto complainant towards full and final settlement and for withdrawal of pending criminal cases. They also agreed to obtain divorce by mutual consent by filing O.P., before the competent Court and prayed 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. 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. Since the offences are 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 offences and to quash the proceedings against the petitioner/accused.

5. In the result, I.A.Nos.1 and 2 of 2019 are ordered. Consequently, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings in C.C.No.1249 of 2017 on the file of the IV Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Nampally, Hyderabad, are hereby quashed against the petitioner/accused.

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