CRL.R.C. No.427 OF 2009

¶41

It appears from the record that learned Magistrate, while dealing with the application of the petitioner under Sections 190 and 200 Cr.P.C. for the alleged offence punishable under Sections 420, 379, 448, 323, 506 read with 34 of IPC is of the view that, there are no materials to take cognizance of the complaint on file for the alleged offences. Accordingly, the said complaint was dismissed under Section 203 Cr.P.C. by passing the impugned order.

¶42

The status report of the Station House Officer, Tenali I Town Police Station suggests that the petitioner has expired.

¶43

Since the petitioner has passed away, nothing would survive for consideration regarding the legality, correctness, or propriety of the impugned order. Consequently, the criminal revision case is dismissed as infructuous.
