This criminal petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (Cr.P.C.) by seven persons is for quashing investigation in Crime No.53 of 2008, dated 17.3.2008 of L&O Police Station of Pattabhipuram, Guntur. The prayer for quashing is justified mainly on two grounds that the civil dispute between the petitioners and the first respondent ended in a compromise in Lok Adalat, Guntur and that the allegations made in the complaint to the police by the first respondent are contrary to the compromise memo dated 21.8.2006 filed before the Court of the Principal Senior Civil Judge, Guntur. It is also brought to the notice of this Court that after completing investigation, the Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO), Guntur, submitted case diary on 2.6.2008 to the Court of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Guntur, referring the case as a mistake of fact and further praying the said Court to treat the case as such and order accordingly. One year thereafter it appears at the instance of the Additional Director General of Police, CID, the case now stands referred to Inspector of Police (CID), Vijayawada, for investigation and that the same is abuse of process of law.
