Holding
The Court held that the application was infructuous and therefore disposed of it.
Summary
The petitioners filed a criminal miscellaneous application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash a July 3, 2017 order of the Judicial Magistrate, Chapra, which had taken cognizance of a case under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code against them. The petitioners argued that the application had become infructuous and should be disposed of. The State, represented by an Additional Public Prosecutor, raised no objection to the petitioners’ request. The Court considered the submissions of both parties and found no merit in continuing the proceedings. Consequently, the Court disposed of the application on the ground that it had become infructuous.
Issues considered
- Whether the criminal miscellaneous application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code can be dismissed as infructuous.
