G SRAVAN KUMAR Counsel for the Respondent(S): 1. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR (AP) 2. K RAJANNA 3 The Court made the following ORDER: 1. The present Criminal Revision Case, filed under Sections 397 and 401 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short, ‘Cr.P.C.’) is preferred on behalf of the petitioners/A.1 to A.4 challenging the order dated 02.09.2015 passed in Criminal Revision Petition No.57 of 2014 on the file of the learned Judge, Family Court, Kurnool (for short, ‘the Family Court’). 2. For the sake of brevity, the parties shall hereinafter be referred to as they are arrayed in this Criminal Revision Case. 3. Before the Family Court, the 2nd respondent herein filed Criminal Revision Petition No.57 of 2014, under sections 397 and 399 of Cr.P.C., against the order dated 25.08.2014 in C.C.No.76 of 2012 passed by the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Dhone (for short, ‘the Trial Court’). After considering the submissions of both parties, the learned Judge, Family Court set aside the order dated 25.08.2014 passed by the Trial Court in C.C.No.76 of 2012 and directed the learned Magistrate to frame the charge for the offence under section 420 of IPC against A.1 to A.4 and proceed with the trial. 4. Dissatisfied with the order passed by the learned Judge, Family Court in Crl.R.P.No.57 of 2014, the petitioners (A.1 to A.4) herein has preferred the present Crl.R.C.No.1347 of 2016. 5. When the matter was taken up for hearing, none appeared on behalf of the petitioners. 6. Sri K. Sandeep, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor representing the 1st respondent / State, contends that as per the status report obtained from the E- courts portal, Calendar Case No.76 of 2012 was settled before the Lok Adalat on 20.04.2019. He further contends that, in light of the dismissal of the main case, the present Criminal Revision Case no longer survives for independent adjudication and has, therefore, become infructuous. 7. This Court, upon a careful consideration of the submission advanced by the learned Assistant Public Prosecutor and in view of the fact that the 4 C.C.No.76 of 2012 was settled before the Lok Adalat on 20.04.2019, is of the considered view that nothing further to be adjudicated in the present Revision Case. Since the main case has been 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. 8. 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.
