Holding
The application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is dismissed as infructuous because the underlying complaint case has already been disposed.
Summary
The petitioner, Mr. Mrinal Kishore Priyadarshi, filed a criminal miscellaneous application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash an order dated 29‑04‑2015 passed by the Judicial Magistrate First Class, Patna, in Complaint Case No. 30313(C) of 2014. The trial court’s report dated 04‑04‑2026 indicated that the complaint case had already been disposed of. The petitioner argued that the application had become infructuous and should be dismissed. The State, through its Additional Public Prosecutor, raised no objection to the petitioner's prayer. The High Court, after hearing counsel, held that since the underlying complaint was already disposed, the miscellaneous application was indeed infructuous and therefore disposed of. The order effectively dismissed the application without further proceedings.
Issues considered
- Whether a criminal miscellaneous application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking quash of an order can be dismissed as infructuous when the underlying complaint case has already been disposed?
