CRM No.M-6264 of 2016 -2respondents appeared and contested the petition. I have heard learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for U.T. Chandigarh as well as learned counsel for the respondent and have gone through the record.

At the time of arguments, it has been brought to the notice of this Court that the trial has already been concluded and the respondent is stated to have already been convicted in this case. The proceedings before learned Addl. Sessions Judge, Chandigarh, therefore, had come to an end. The impugned order, as argued, has been passed only for the purpose of preparing defence by the accused. Hence, with the conclusion of the trial, the relief sought in this petition, has become infructuous. Therefore, present petition stands dismissed as infructuous. However, the respondent is at liberty to avail remedies whichever available to him for making telephonic calls etc., as per law.
