Allahabad High Court
YASHWANT KUMAR AND ANOTHERversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 3 OTHERS
- Decided
Holding
The petition is dismissed as infructuous.
Summary
The petitioners Yashwant Kumar and another filed a criminal miscellaneous writ petition challenging the filing of a charge‑sheet by the police, invoking Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The petition sought relief to quash the charge‑sheet. The High Court observed that the charge‑sheet had already been submitted and the petition under Section 482 had become infructuous. Consequently, the Court found no ground to entertain the petition further. The petition was therefore dismissed as infructuous, with no further order issued.
Issues considered
- Whether a charge‑sheet already filed can be challenged by a writ petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C.
- Whether the petition remains maintainable after the charge‑sheet submission
