O R D E R

¶26

1. This Criminal Revision Case has been filed by the petitioner/accused under Sections 397 and 401 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short, ‘the Cr.P.C.’) against the Order dated 16.07.2018 passed in Crl.M.P.No.2507 of 2018 in C.C.No.485 of 2015 on the file of learned II Additional Judicial Magistrate of I Class, Madanapalle (for short, ‘the trial Court’).

¶27

2. Heard and perused the record.

¶28

3. As seen from the record, this Criminal Revision Case has been filed against the order dated 16.07.2018 passed in Crl.M.P.No.2507 of 2018 in C.C.No.485 of 2015. The Crl.M.P.No.2507 of 2018 has been filed by the petitioner/accused under Section 45 of Indian Evidence Act seeking to send Ex.P1 Cheque to the Handwriting Expert for the purpose of examining material alterations. By impugned order dated 16.07.2018, the trial Court dismissed the petition by recording certain reasons. Against the said order, the petitioner/accused preferred the present revision.

¶29

4. Learned Assistant Public Prosecutor submits that the main C.C.No.485 of 2015 was disposed on 12.03.2022. In support of this, a copy from the e-Courts website has been filed, which reflects that the said C.C.No.485 of 2015 was disposed on 12.03.2022 and it was settled before Lok Adalat.

¶30

¶31

5. Recording the said submission of learned Assistant Public Prosecutor and in view of the disposal of the C.C.No.485 of 2015 on 12.03.2022, this Court finds the cause does not survive for adjudication and the matter would become infructuous.

¶32

6. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed as infructuous. Interim orders granted earlier, if any, shall stand vacated and the

¶33

miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand closed.
