No.1931 OF 2008 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SUBHENDU SAMANTA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No. 1931 of 2008 ORDER: 1. In pursuance of the direction of this Court dated 07.07.2026, learned Principal District Judge, Guntur, has placed a report, which reads as follows: “Smt. Merigala Janaki Devi lodged a complaint against her husband (A-1) and family members (A-2 to A-6) before SHO, Nagarampalem P.S. The SHO, Nagarampalem Police registered the complaint as Crime No. 127 of 2005 for the offences under Section 498-A of the IPC r/w Sec. 3 and 4 of D.P. Act. Following a thorough investigation, charge sheet was filed before Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Special Mobile Court, Guntur against accused A-1 to A-6. The trial court took cognizance and registered the case as C.C. No. 243/2006. On 24-09-2008, the case in C.C. No. 243/2006 was disposed of against accused A-2, A-3, A-4, and A-6, ending in their acquittal. Aggrieved by this judgment, the de-facto complainant filed Crl.R.C. No. 1931 of 2008 before the High Court. During the pendency of the trial, the case against A-1 and A-5 was separated and re-numbered as C.C. No. 91 of 2008. A Non-Bailable Warrant (NBW) was executed against A-5, which was subsequently recalled by the court on 17-06-2015. On 22-04-2018, the de-facto complainant filed a petition under Section 320(2) of the Cr.P.C. stating that she had settled the matter amicably and voluntarily agreed to compound the offence with the accused. The de-facto complainant was physically present before the court at the time of recording the compromise and was duly identified by the police. Although A-1 was absent, the court permitted the de-facto complainant to compound the offence. Accordingly, a Lok Adalat award was passed on 22-04-2018, acquitting accused A-1 and A-5 for the offence under Section 498-A IPC. The pending NBW against A- 1 stands cancelled. On perusal of the entire record, it is clarified that the case against A-1 and A-5 was settled before the Lok Adalat on 22- 04-2018, and not on 24-09-2008 as suggested. The date on 24- 09-2008 strictly marks the judicial acquittal of A-2 to A-4 and A- -4- CRL.R.C. No.1931 OF 2008 6 in the main case (C.C. No. 243/2006). The above facts are submitted for favour of information and necessary further action by the Hon'ble High Court. The copies of petition, docket proceedings and award are enclosed herewith”. 2. On a perusal of the report, it appears that the matter was compromised between the parties. In terms of such compromise, Lok Adalat award has been passed on 22.04.2018. The award of the Lok Adalat is also appended along with the report. 3. Considering the said report, it appears that no further order is required to be passed in this matter. 4. Accordingly, the instant criminal revision case is dismissed as infructuous. 5. As a sequel, miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________________ JUSTICE SUBHENDU SAMANTA Dated: 28.07.2026 CVD
