The High Court noted that neither the applicant nor the second opposite party were present, though the Government Advocate appeared. The Court found that the application was not prosecuted and therefore could not be entertained. Consequently, the application was dismissed and the interim order previously granted was vacated. The order was directed to be communicated to the trial court immediately.

Issues considered

  • Whether an application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. can be entertained when there is no prosecution of the application.
