Holding
The application is dismissed as infructuous because the original case has already been disposed.
Summary
The petitioner, Achak Lal Sah, filed an application under Sections 227 and 228 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash an order dated 07-08-2018 passed by the 1st Additional Sessions Judge‑cum‑Special Judge, Madhubani. The application was filed in Criminal Miscellaneous No.68151 of 2018 before the Patna High Court. The court learned from the status report that the original case (G.R. No.10 of 2014) had already been disposed of on 04-10-2024. Counsel for the petitioner argued that the application had become infructuous and should be dismissed. The State had no objection. The High Court agreed and disposed of the application as infructuous, effectively dismissing the petition.
Issues considered
- Whether an application under Sections 227 and 228 of the Cr.P.C. for quashing an order can be entertained when the substantive case has already been disposed, rendering the application infructuous.
