Holding
The petition is dismissed as the matter has become infructuous following the disposal of the original trial.
Summary
The petitioners, Shakil Ahmad and others, filed a petition under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash an order dated 17 March 2018 that had taken cognizance of offences under Sections 147, 148, 149, 323, 325, 504 of the IPC and Section 3(i)(w) of the SC/ST Act. The petition argued that the underlying trial (Trial No. 86 of 2018, G.R. No. 509 of 2017) had already been disposed of on 3 July 2019, rendering the present proceeding infructuous. The State, represented by an Additional Public Prosecutor, raised no objection to the prayer. The High Court, after hearing both sides, agreed that the matter was moot and ordered the petition to be disposed of as infructuous. Consequently, the order under Section 482 was set aside and the petition dismissed.
Issues considered
- Whether the petition under Section 482 CrPC for quashing the order is maintainable when the original trial has already been disposed of.
- Whether the proceeding has become infructuous and should be dismissed.
