Holding
The Court held that the proceedings had become infructuous and disposed of the criminal miscellaneous application.
Summary
The petitioner filed a criminal miscellaneous application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash an order dated 12-13 December 2016 passed by the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Barh, which had taken cognizance under IPC Sections 366, 323 and 34 against the petitioner and two others. The petitioner argued that the case had become infructuous and should be disposed of. The State, represented by an Additional Public Prosecutor, raised no objection to the petitioner's prayer. After hearing both sides, the High Court held that the proceedings were indeed infructuous and disposed of the application accordingly. Consequently, the order of the lower court was effectively set aside, and the matter was closed.
