Holding
The application under Section 482 is dismissed as the proceeding has become infructuous.
Summary
Petitioners Nand Kishore Dubey and Ravindra Dubey filed a criminal miscellaneous application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash an order dated 08‑03‑2018 passed by the Sub‑Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Dehri, which had taken cognizance of offences under Sections 406 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 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’ prayer. After hearing both sides, the Patna High Court held that the application was indeed infructuous and disposed of it accordingly. Consequently, the order under challenge remains unaffected, and the petition was dismissed.
