A petition for quashment of proceedings is rendered infructuous when the underlying trial court proceedings are dismissed, as the primary grievance of the petitioner is effectively redressed.
Headnote:The petitioners filed a petition under S. 528 of the Bharatiya Narik Suraksha Sanhitha, 2023, seeking the quashment of proceedings in D.V.C.No.43 of 2023, which were registered for offences punishable under Sections 18, 19, 20, and 22 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Rules.

Accordingly, this criminal petition is dismissed as infructuous.
