The Court made the following ORDER:

¶27

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/accused challenging the order dated 04.08.2016 passed in Crl.M.P.No.1713 of 2016 in Calendar Case No.810 of 2015 on the file of the IV Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Guntur (for short, ‘the Trial Court’).

¶28

2. By the impugned order, the Trial Court permitted the complainant to receive a certified copy of the promissory note dated 31.03.2012, for the purpose of marking it in evidence on behalf of the complainant.

¶29

3. When the matter is called for hearing, none appeared on behalf of the petitioner herein.

¶30

4. Learned counsel for the 1^st respondent (complainant) has appeared and submitted that subsequent to the filing of the present criminal revision case, C.C.No.810 of 2015, which was pending before the Trial Court, was transferred to the Court of Principal Junior Civil Judge-cum-Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Guntur, and renumbered as C.C.No.70 of 2017. In support of this submission, learned counsel placed a copy of the order in C.C.No.70 of 2017, which reflects that the case was disposed of on 07.08.2018 by acquitting the accused. She further contends that, in view of the disposal of the main case i.e., C.C.No.70 of 2017, the present Criminal Revision Case,

¶32

which is directed against an interlocutory order passed therein, no longer survives for independent adjudication and has consequently become infructuous.

¶33

5. Sri K. Sandeep, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor, concurs with the submission made by the learned counsel for the 1^st respondent.

¶34

6. In order to consider the aforesaid submissions, I have perused the copies of the order passed in Crl.M.P.No.1713 of 2016 in Calendar Case No.810 of 2015, as well as the judgment rendered in C.C.No.70 of 2017. The cheque number and other relevant particulars in both records are found to be consistent and duly tally with each other.

¶35

7. This Court, upon a careful consideration of the submission advanced by the learned counsel for the 1^st respondent 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 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.

¶36

8. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed as infructuous .

¶37

Interim orders, if any, granted earlier shall stand vacated, and all pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed.
