Holding
An appeal is infructuous and must be dismissed when the trial court has acquitted the accused.
Summary
The petitioner, Faijal Rangrej, was charged in a criminal miscellaneous case (No.88381 of 2025) arising from an incident in Mohania, Kaimur. The trial court acquitted the petitioner of all charges. The petitioner then filed an appeal before the High Court. The central issue was whether the appeal could proceed after the acquittal rendered the case infructuous. The court held that an acquittal makes the appeal moot and therefore dismissed the appeal as withdrawn. Consequently, the petition was dismissed without further hearing.
