2. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent police and perused the materials available on record.

3. Admittedly, F.I.R in Crime No.363 of 2024 has been registered for the offence under Sections 8(c) and 20b(ii)(A) of NDPS Act 1985 and 123 of BNS 2023, as against the petitioners and the same is pending. F.I.R is not an encyclopaedia and it sets the law in motion. Investigation only would reveal the actual commission of offence.

5. Under the above facts and circumstances, this Court is not inclined to quash the F.I.R. Hence, the criminal original petition is dismissed. Consequently connected miscellaneous petition is closed. The respondent police is directed to file the charge sheet as early as possible, after receipt of the forensic lab report. 20.12.2024 mfa Index:Yes/No Speaking Order: Yes/No To
