Junior Civil Judge, Tadepalligudem, West Godavari District, and pass such 2 other or further order or orders as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in the circumstances of the case. IA NO: 1 OF 2017(CRLRCMP 471 OF 2017 Petition under Section 151 CPC praying that in the circumstances stated in the affidavit filed in support of the petition, the High Court may be pleased to stay the operation of the order passed in Crl.M.P.No.1385/2016 in M.C.No.1/2012 dt.15-12-2016 on the file of learned II Addl. Junior Civil Judge, Tadepalligude, West Godavari District. Counsel for the Petitioner: 1. KALLA TULASI DURGAMBA Counsel for the Respondent(S): 1. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR (AP) 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 petitioner/husband challenging the order dated 15.12.2016 passed in Crl.M.P.No.1385 of 2016 in M.C.No.1 of 2012 on the file of the II Additional Junior Civil Judge, Tadepalligudem, West Godavari District (for short, ‘the Trial Court’). 2. For the sake of brevity, the parties shall hereinafter be referred to as they are arrayed in this Criminal Revision Case. 3. It is evident from the record that respondents 1 to 3 herein filed Crl.M.P.No.1385 of 2016 in M.C.No.1 of 2012, seeking to restore M.C.No.1 of 2012 by setting aside the dismissal order dated 09.11.2012. As per the impugned order, the Trial Court, on 15.12.2016, allowed the petition and permitted the respondents 1 to 3 herein to adduce evidence by the next adjournment. 3 4. Dissatisfied with the order passed by the Trial Court in Crl.M.P.No.1385 of 2016 in M.C.No.1 of 2012, the petitioner herein has preferred the present Crl.R.C.No.296 of 2017. 5. When the matter was taken up for hearing, none appeared on behalf of the petitioner. 6. Sri K. Sandeep, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor representing the 4th respondent / State, contends that as per the status report obtained from the E-courts portal, Maintenance Case No.1of 2012, in which the order dated 15.12.2016 in Crl.M.P.No.1385 of 2016 was passed, was finally dismissed on contest before the Trial Court on 28.07.2017. 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. 7. 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 M.C., in which the impugned order was passed, already stands dismissed, is of the considered view that nothing further remains for determination 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.
