P NARAHARI BABU Counsel for the Respondent: 1. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR (AP) The Court made the following ORDER: 1. The present Criminal Revision Case, filed under Section 397 and 401 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short, ‘Cr.P.C.’) is preferred on behalf of the petitioner/accused challenging the order dated 02.09.2015 passed in Crl.M.P.No.558 of 2015 in Calendar Case No.153 of 2013 on the file of the II Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Gudur (for short, ‘the Trial Court’). By the said order, the Trial Court dismissed the petition filed under section 239 of Cr.P.C., in discharging the accused for the alleged contravention of section 3(1) (zz) (VII) 26(2), (I) of Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 (Food Products & Food Additives) regulations, 2011 punishable under section 59(1) of FSS Act, 2006. 2. When the matter was taken up for hearing, none appeared on behalf of the petitioner / accused. 3. Sri K. Sandeep, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor representing the respondent / State, contends that as per E-courts report, Calendar Case No.153 of 2013, wherein the order dated 02.09.2015 in Crl.M.P.No.558 of 2015 was passed, was finally disposed of by the Trial Court, resulting in the acquittal of the accused on 01.10.2018. He further contends that, in view of the dismissal of the main case, the present Criminal Revision directed against the said interlocutory order no longer survives for independent adjudication and has, therefore, become infructuous. 4. This Court, upon a careful consideration of the submission advanced by the learned Assistant Public Prosecutor and having regard to the fact that the very Calendar Case in which the impugned order was passed already stands disposed, is of the considered view that nothing further remains for determination in the present Revision Case. Since the main case has been 3 concluded and has attained finality, any challenge to an interlocutory order passed therein has lost its relevance, and adjudicating the present Criminal Revision Case would serve no useful purpose. 5. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed as infructuous. Interim orders, if any, granted earlier shall stand vacated, and all pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. _______________________ T.
