Holding
The petition is dismissed as the proceedings have become infructuous.
Summary
The petitioners, Lorik Manjhi, Saif Fatah and Md. Tarique Fatah, filed a petition under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash an order dated 27 February 2018 passed by the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jehanabad, which had rejected their earlier petition under Section 239 CrPC concerning the framing of charge. The petitioners argued that the matter had become infructuous and therefore should be disposed of. The State of Bihar, represented by an Additional Public Prosecutor, raised no objection to the petitioners' request for disposal. The Hon’ble Justice Sunil Dutta Mishra considered the submissions of both sides and found no merit in continuing the proceedings. Consequently, the court disposed of the petition on the ground that the case had become infructuous, effectively dismissing the petition without further order.
Issues considered
- Whether the petition under Section 482 CrPC seeking to quash the order rejecting the Section 239 CrPC petition can be dismissed on the ground that the case has become infructuous?
