Holding
The revision application is dismissed as infructuous because no cause of action survives.
Summary
The applicant, Shrikant Ramrao Deshpande, filed a criminal revision seeking to challenge a discharge order passed by the trial court. The applicant argued that the trial court had proceeded to pass a final judgment, rendering the revision unnecessary. The court noted that since the trial court was about to deliver its final judgment, the cause of action for the revision no longer existed. Consequently, the High Court held that the revision application was infructuous. The revision was therefore disposed of without any further hearing.
Issues considered
- What is the appropriate disposition of a criminal revision application when the cause of action has become infructuous due to the trial court's imminent final judgment?
