C-482 NO. 713 OF 2001 (Old No. 6439 of 1997) Hon’ble Irshad Hussain, J. None appear for the petitioner. Heard Sri Amit Bhatt learned A.G.A. By means of this petition under section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure the order dated 24.2.1997 passed by the then Munsif Magistrate, Pithoragarh was challenged. The order was passed on the application under section 311 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. When the petition was filed before the Allahabad High Court no stay was granted and therefore by now the proceedings of criminal case no. 148/1991 must have been terminated according to law. Considering this the petition has been rendered infructuous and is dismissed as such. Consign. (Irshad Hussain, J.) Dated: 31-5-2004 ISB
