P.Noorjahan and 4 Others Vs the State of A.P. Rep by Pp. and Another

¶1

THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE R. KANTHA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No.4742 of 2010 and CRIMINAL PETITION No.5319 of 2013

¶2

COMMON ORDER:

¶3

I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners – accused in both the criminal petitions and the second respondent – de facto complainant and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing the State.

¶4

On 26.02.2010, the second respondent filed a private complaint in the Court of Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Ananthapur, which was forwarded by the learned Magistrate to the police for investigation. On receiving the same, the police registered a case in Crime No.10 of 2010 under Sections 498-A, 506 and 307 IPC and under Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act against the petitioners. The police after completing investigation filed a charge sheet and now the case is pending in C.C.No.439 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Ananthapur.

¶5

The second respondent – de facto complainant filed an affidavit into the Court stating that subsequent to the filing of the charge sheet there was amicable settlement between the parties at the intervention of elders and in pursuance thereof, she is withdrawing all the allegations made against the petitioners – accused in both the criminal petitions. She also stated that she has no objection to quash the proceedings in both the criminal petitions.

¶6

Since the offence alleged is not of serious nature and also in view of the fact that continuation of trial before the trial Court will cause undue hardship and inconvenience to the parties, I am of the view that the criminal case can be quashed to meet the requirements of justice.

¶7

For the foregoing reasons, the entire proceedings in C.C.No.439 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Ananthapur, are quashed.

¶8

Both the Criminal Petitions are accordingly allowed.
