DATE :- 26TH APRIL, 2018 P. C. :- The learned Additional PP, on instructions, informs us that the status report, which is filed before the concerned learned Magistrate would be sought to be amended by filing an application to the effect that the said status report be treated as a closure report in
Dusane 2 914 apl 787-788.doc view of the fact that the Central Government has refused to grant sanction. In view of the said statement, if an application to the effect stated by the learned Additional PP is filed, undoubtedly the learned Metropolitan Magistrate would be required to follow a particular course of action either accepting the closure report or rejecting it. The learned Metropolitan Magistrate may expedite the process and complete the same latest by 30th June, 2018. It would be contingent upon the decision that would be rendered by the learned Metropolitan Magistrate that the future course of action can be adopted by the respective parties. It is, therefore not necessary to keep the above applications pending, in view of the fact that the investigating agency proposes to convert the status report into a closure report, as then the cause of action for filing the above Criminal Applications do not survive. The Criminal Applications are accordingly disposed of with liberty to the parties to avail of the appropriate remedy if the occasion so arises.
