A writ petition becomes infructuous if the petitioner is acquitted by the Trial Court.

Headnote:The petitioner, having been acquitted by the Trial Court, moved for a Writ Petition (Criminal) which the court determined to be infructuous. The law underlying the dismissal revolves around the principle that once acquitted, further legal proceedings become irrelevant. Consequently, the writ is dismissed for lack of merit on account of the prior acquittal.

JUDGMENT

The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner was already acquitted by the Trial Court. Therefore, this W.P (Crl) has become infructuous. Hence, this W.P (Crl) is dismissed as iinfructuous.
