Burri Nagasekhar v. The State Of Telangana

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.SATYANARAYANA MURTHY I.A.No.1 OF 2018 IN/AND CRIMINAL PETITION NO.11564 OF 2017 ORDER:

I.A.No.1 of 2018 This miscellaneous petition is filed under Section 320 (2) of Criminal Procedure Code (for short "Cr.P.C.") seeking leave to compromise the case and compound the offences punishable under Section 498-A of Indian Penal Code (for short "I.P.C.") and under Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, as the matter is settled outside the Court and they entered into compromise and filed joint memo to that effect.

Complainant and the petitioners/accused are also present and they are identified by their counsel and Public Prosecutor. When the terms and conditions of compromise are explained in vernacular language, they are admitted to be true and correct. On enquiry, the parties stated that they settled the issue outside the Court due to intervention of elders and well-wishers and that the complainant and her husband/accused No.1 are living together.

The offence punishable under Section 498-A of I.P.C. though not compoundable, it can be compounded with the permission of the Court.

In view of the close relationship between the parties and as the complainant and her husband living together, and the offence

MSM,J Crl.P_11564_2017 committed by the petitioners is not against the society and the compromise is voluntary, I find that it is a fit case to grant permission to compound the offence. Hence, compromise is recorded in terms of the joint memo filed along with the petition. Accordingly, the petition is ordered.

Crl.P.No.11564 Of 2017 In view of the orders passed in I.A.No.1 of 2018, the present petition is allowed. No costs.

Consequently, miscellaneous applications pending if any, shall stand dismissed.
