Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

Criminal miscellaneous petition under Section 482 CrPC (S.B. Criminal Miscellaneous (Petition) No. 5426/2015) by Kishan Sharma seeking quashing of FIR No. 477/2015, Police Station Kotwali, District Sawai Madhopur, for offences under Sections 332, 353 and 506 IPC. During pendency, interim orders dated 29-10-2015 (trial court) and 07-10-2017 (Rajasthan High Court, Jaipur Bench) directed that no coercive steps be taken against the petitioner. From the trial court's status report the Court found that police had submitted a negative final report on 05-08-2016; on complainant Amit Kumar Goyal's protest application dated 03-10-2016, the complainant's statement under Section 200 CrPC and witness Dungar Lal's statement under Section 202 CrPC were recorded, the complainant's evidence was closed, and the case was fixed for the cognizance order. Held: the 'no coercive steps' order merely protected the petitioner from arrest and did not restrain the trial court from acting on the final report; the petition had become infructuous owing to these subsequent developments and was not fit to be accepted. Petition dismissed; the trial court left free to proceed in accordance with law. (Praveer Bhatnagar, J.; order dated 06/05/2025.)
