Holding
The application is dismissed as infructuous because the original trial has already been disposed.
Summary
The petitioner, Sunita Yadav, filed a criminal miscellaneous application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash an order dated 11 July 2018 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Rosera, in S.Tr. No.672 of 2015. The application was filed after the trial court had already disposed of Sessions Trial No.672A of 2015 on 31 July 2025, rendering the matter moot. The petitioner argued that the case had become infructuous and should be dismissed, while the State of Bihar raised no objection to this prayer. The High Court examined the report from the trial court confirming the disposal of the original proceedings. Considering the submissions and the report, the Court held that the application was infructuous and therefore disposed of. The order effectively dismissed the petition without further hearing.
