Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

High Court for the State of Telangana at Hyderabad (Sri Justice N. Tukaramji, sole judge), order dated 12-08-2025 in Writ Petition No. 10000 of 2016 (Special Original Jurisdiction). E. Sudarshan, arraigned as Accused No.3 in FIR No. 161 of 2016 dated 29-02-2016 of the Station House Officer, Vanasthalipuram PS (2nd respondent), had petitioned under Article 226 of the Constitution for a writ of certiorari to call for the records of the FIR, declare it null and void and quash it, with an interim application (I.A. No. 2 of 2016 / WPMP No. 12641 of 2016) under Section 151 CPC for stay of further proceedings. None appeared for the petitioner when the matter was called up in 2025. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home (R. Laxmikanth Reddy) submitted that after due investigation a chargesheet was filed, the case was numbered CC.No.805 of 2016, and after due trial the petitioner was acquitted on 09.11.2018 by the XX Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad. Holding that the cause raised in the writ petition had already been redressed and that nothing further remained to be adjudicated, the Court dismissed the writ petition as infructuous, awarded no costs, and directed that pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed.
