Holding
The petition was disposed of on the ground that the case had become infructuous.
Summary
The petitioner, Paripurnanand Jha, filed a petition under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash an order dated 20 August 2018, in which the Additional District & Sessions Judge had rejected his application under Section 227 CrPC. The petitioner argued that the case had become infructuous and should be disposed of. The State of Bihar, represented by an Additional Public Prosecutor, raised no objection to the petition. The High Court, after hearing both sides, agreed that the proceedings were indeed infructuous. Consequently, the Court disposed of the petition without further order.
