Order on ExhibitView PDF

The court dismissed the case under Section 258 of the Criminal Procedure Code and acquitted the accused without conviction, citing the Supreme Court precedent in *Raj Deo Sharma v. State of Bihar* that mandates closing prosecution evidence if witnesses are not produced within 2 years of plea recording for offences with imprisonment up to 7 years. The case remained pending for over 4 years with no witnesses appearing, making continued proceedings futile, warranting closure.
