IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.35415 of 2004 Shashi Devi, Wife of Sri Jitendra Sharma, Resident of Village Gorkhari, Police Station Bikram, District Patna. -------- Petitioner Versus The State of Bihar ------- Opposite Party ----------- 5 14.9.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner. Having perused the report annexed at Flag-B to this application as also taking into account the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna it appears that not only a sanction was accorded for prosecution against the petitioner by the competent authority on 15.10.2004 but upon conclusion of the prosecution, the petitioner has also been convicted and sentenced against which she has also filed an appeal being Criminal Appeal No. 84 of 2006. That being so, this application has become infructuous and is dismissed accordingly. Office, however is directed to be careful in future that whenever a report is called for and the same is received, as in this case on 12.2.2007, the same must be placed in stead of keeping the matter pending 2 for a period of over two and a half years. It is expected that such a mistake will not be committed again by the office of this Court. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
