Holding
The petition is disposed of as the matter has become infructuous.
Summary
The petitioners, a group of relatives from Village-Parta, filed a petition under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash the order dated 20‑08‑2018 of the Assistant Sessions Judge‑II, Aurangabad, which had rejected their discharge petition filed under Section 228(i) CrPC. The petition argued that the matter had become infructuous and should therefore be disposed of. The State, represented by an Additional Public Prosecutor, raised no objection to the petitioners' request for disposal. The Court examined the submissions and noted that the underlying criminal proceeding was no longer pending, rendering the petition moot. Consequently, the Court disposed of the petition on the ground that the case had become infructuous.
