BAJRANG LAL DUBEY AND 4 OTHERSversusSTATE OF U.P. AND ANOTHER

Decided

Holding

The application is dismissed as having become infructuous.

Summary

The applicants, Bajrang Lal Dubey and four others, filed an application under Section 528 of the Code of Criminal Procedure before the Allahabad High Court. Counsel for the applicants argued that the application had become infructuous. The court considered the submission that the relief sought was no longer viable. Relying on this argument, the court held that there was no longer any cause of action to entertain. Consequently, the application was dismissed as infructuous on 6 May 2026.

Issues considered

  • Whether the application filed under Section 528 is infructuous and can be dismissed on that ground?
