Criminal proceedings deemed infructuous post-conviction.

Headnote:The case involves a Criminal Miscellaneous Case wherein the petitioner, having already been convicted, sought relief from the High Court. The Court noted that such a petition becomes infructuous once the trial court has rendered a conviction. The overarching issue revolves around the status of the petition following the conviction. The Court concluded that the Crl.M.C. is dismissed as infructuous, reflecting its final decision on the matter.

O R D E R

The learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Public Prosecutor submitted that, in this case, the petitioner has already been convicted by the trial court and therefore, the Crl.M.C. has become infructuous.

In the result, the Crl.M.C. is dismissed as infructuous.
