Bhola PaswanversusThe State Of Bihar

Decided: 28 April 2026
Disposal: DISPOSED
Bench: SUNIL DUTTA MISHRA

Holding

The application was disposed of as infructuous, without granting the relief sought.

Summary

Petitioner Bhola Paswan filed a criminal miscellaneous application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash an order dated 12 July 2018 passed by the Additional District Judge VII, Aurangabad, in connection with Sessions Trial No.256 of 2017. The petitioner argued that the matter had become infructuous and should be disposed of. The State of Bihar, through its A.P.P., raised no objection to the petitioner's request. The Hon’ble Justice Sunil Dutta Mishra considered the submissions and found no merit in continuing the application. Consequently, the court disposed of the criminal miscellaneous application on the ground that it had become infructuous.

Issues considered

Whether the criminal miscellaneous application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing the earlier order should be entertained when the matter is alleged to be infructuous
