Holding
The court held that the petition is infructuous and therefore disposed of it.
Summary
The petitioners – Abulaish Mian and his family members – filed a petition under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash an order dated 09‑05‑2018 passed by the Sub‑Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Raxaul, which had taken cognizance of offences under several sections of the Indian Penal Code. The petition argued that the criminal proceedings 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. The Hon’ble Justice Sunil Dutta Mishra considered the submissions and found that the case was indeed infructuous. Consequently, the court disposed of the petition without ordering any quash of the earlier order. The disposition effectively ends the proceedings as there is no longer any live controversy.
