Summary
The petitioner, Shashi Ranjan Kumar, filed a petition under Section 239 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to set aside an order dated 04.05.2018 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, which had rejected his earlier petition filed under the same provision in connection with a 2011 case. The petition challenged the revision order dated 06.12.2017 that dismissed his application. Both parties appeared before the Patna High Court, with the petitioner’s counsel and the State’s Additional Public Prosecutor. The State raised no objection to the petitioner's prayer for disposal of the matter. In view of the submissions and the lack of opposition, the Court disposed of the petition without granting relief, effectively upholding the lower court’s order.
