Holding
The Court held that the petition is disposed of as the case has become infructuous.
Summary
The petitioners filed a petition under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash an order dated 07‑04‑2018, wherein cognizance was taken against them for offences under Sections 147, 323, 307, 379, 504 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. They contended that the criminal proceedings had become infructuous and therefore the order should be set aside. The State and the informant raised no objection to the prayer. After hearing the parties, the Court agreed that the proceedings were indeed infructuous and disposed of the petition without further order. Consequently, the petition was dismissed as the matter was no longer live.
Issues considered
- Whether a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing the order is maintainable.
- Whether the criminal proceedings have become infructuous warranting disposal of the petition.
