Holding
The application for quashing was dismissed as the petition had become infructuous.
Summary
The petitioners, Mritunjay Pd. Sharma and Rinku Sharma, filed an application under Section 239 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash an order dated 02 July 2018 passed by the Sub‑Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Nalanda, which had dismissed their earlier petition. The order in question arose from G.R. Case No. 362 of 2017 relating to Nalanda Mahila Police Station Case No. 18 of 2017. The petitioners argued that the matter had become infructuous and should be disposed of. The State of Bihar, represented by an Additional Public Prosecutor, raised no objection to the petitioners' request. The High Court, after hearing counsel, agreed that the petition was no longer capable of being pursued and disposed of the application as infructuous, effectively dismissing the petition.
Issues considered
- Whether the petition for quashing the order dated 02‑07‑2018 is maintainable when the subject matter has become infructuous.
