Holding
A revision application becomes infructuous and is to be disposed of when the trial has already progressed beyond the stage challenged.
Summary
The applicant, Laxman Maroti Baswar, filed a criminal revision application challenging the trial court's order that rejected his discharge application. While the revision was pending, the advocate for the informant informed the court that the trial had already progressed to the stage of recording witness evidence. The applicant argued that the trial court's order should be set aside. The court noted that because the trial had moved beyond the point of discharge, the revision could no longer affect the proceedings. Consequently, the court held that the revision had become infructuous and ordered its disposal.
