Holding
The Court held that the application under Section 482 is infructuous and therefore dismissed.
Summary
Munjal Sharma filed an application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking relief after a conviction order. The applicant argued that the appeal against the conviction had already been decided by the appellate court, rendering the application unnecessary. The respondent State of U.P. opposed the application. The Court examined whether the Section 482 application remained maintainable in view of the concluded appeal. Finding that the appeal’s decision made the application infructuous, the Court dismissed the application. The order was pronounced on 23 April 2026 by Justice Deepak Verma.
