the year 2017 and till date, the charges have not been framed for one reason or the other. It is contended that the delay is on the part of the accused persons as they have regularly sought exemptions. 3.

Learned APP for the State, on instructions, submits that in the present proceedings, the investigation has concluded and that no supplementary challan has to be filed, as is also apparent from a copy of the chargesheet placed on record.

In view of the above, the present petitions are disposed of alongwith the pending applications.
