Philip Mani Modayil, v. State
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court of Madras dismissed eight criminal revision petitions under Sections 397 and 401 CrPC. The court held that the petitions did not survive for consideration because a stay order granted in a connected quash petition extinguished the underlying criminal proceedings.
What did the court decide?
The criminal revision petition was dismissed; the petitions were closed as the underlying proceedings were stayed in the quash petition.
