GuddalaDurgaPrasad, v. The State of Andhra Pradesh
Case brief
What is this about?
A criminal petition filed by three petitioners sought a quashing order for criminal proceedings initiated against them. The matter was heard by a single judge in the High Court of Andhra Pradesh at Amaravati. The court noted that a charge sheet had been filed but the dispute was subsequently settled before a Lok Adalat. Relying on the settlement reached among the parties, the court closed the criminal petition.
What did the court decide?
The Criminal Petition seeking quashal was closed due to the settlement of the main case before Lok Adalat. Interlocutory applications were also closed.
