Holding
The application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is dismissed as the proceeding has become infructuous.
Summary
Petitioners Randhir Kumar Singh and Shailendra Kumar Singh filed a criminal miscellaneous application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash an order dated 17-10-2017 that had taken cognizance of offences under Sections 341 and 323 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3(i)(x) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The petitioners argued that the matter had become infructuous and should be disposed of. The State, represented by an Additional Public Prosecutor, raised no objection to the petitioners' prayer. The Court, after hearing both sides, held that the application was indeed infructuous and therefore disposed of it without further interference. Consequently, the order of the Special Judge was left undisturbed.
Issues considered
- Whether the criminal miscellaneous application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing the order taking cognizance of offences is maintainable
