Summary
The petitioner, Poonam Kumari, filed a petition under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash an order dated 04.05.2018 passed by the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bhojpur. The order related to case No. 56 of 2018 (G.R. No. 421 of 2018). The petitioner argued that the proceedings had become infructuous and therefore should be disposed of.

The High Court, after considering the submissions, held that the petition was indeed infructuous and disposed of the case accordingly.
Issues considered
