Court dismisses the case as infructuous due to the lapse of the imposed bond conditions.

Headnote:This Court analyzed the provisions under Section 107 and Section 111 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The petitioners challenged a bond execution order for maintaining peace. The Court concluded that since the imposed condition had lapsed, the matter was rendered infructuous. The crucial issue addressed was whether the grounds necessitated further judicial action, leading to the dismissal of the case as irrelevant due to the lapse of time. The final ruling articulated was that the Crl.M.C is dismissed as infructuous.

ORDER

Dated this the 08^th day of December, 2025 The Criminal Miscellaneous Case is filed to quash Annexure A2 order passed by the Court of the Sub Divisional Magistrate, Fort Cochin in M.C.No.682/2022.

2. In Annexure A2 order, the petitioners were directed to show cause why they should not be ordered to execute a bond for Rs.1,00,000/- with two solvent sureties for the like sum to keep peace for a period of one year from 05.12.2022. As the time period in Annexure A2 order has already lapsed, I am of the view that nothing further survives in this Crl.M.C.

Consequently, the Crl.M.C is dismissed as infructuous.
