The court found no justification for keeping the case pending and noted that police had destroyed the seized evidence (muddemal), rendering further proceedings futile. The case was disposed of under Section 258 of Cr.P.C., and the accused's P.R. bonds were cancelled. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
