5.The Registry is directed to print in the cause list Crl.R.C.No.836 of 2018 along with Crl.R.C.No.361 of 2018.

2.When the matter was taken up for hearing today, the learned Government

Advocate (Criminal Side) brought to the notice of this Court that the main case

itself ended in an acquittal in S.C.No.7 of 2017, on the file of the learned Principal

District and Sessions Court, Ariyalur, by judgment and order dated 19.04.2022.

The copy of the judgment was also placed before this Court.

3.The learned counsel for the petitioner in Crl.R.C.No.361 of 2018

submitted that the defacto complainant also died in the meantime.

4.In view of the above development, nothing survives in these criminal

revision cases and accordingly, both the cases are closed. Consequently, connected

miscellaneous petition is closed.
