Holding
The criminal revision application was disposed of as infructuous because the charge had already been framed.
Summary

The respondent argued that the filing of the charge rendered the revision application infructuous. The court examined whether the revision could proceed given the subsequent framing of charges. Finding that the purpose of the revision was defeated, the court held the application could no longer be entertained. Consequently, the revision was disposed of as infructuous.
