Holding
The application under Section 482 CrPC is dismissed as infructuous.
Summary
The petitioner, Amar Kumar, filed a criminal miscellaneous application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash the order dated 22 June 2018 passed by the Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Patna, which had taken cognizance of offences under Sections 376, 506 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner argued that the proceedings had become infructuous and therefore the application should be dismissed. The State of Bihar, through its Additional Public Prosecutor, raised no objection to the petitioner's request. The Court examined the submissions and noted that there was no longer any live controversy requiring judicial intervention. Consequently, the Court held that the criminal miscellaneous application was infructuous and disposed of it. No order to quash the earlier magistrate's order was made.
