3. Since it is reported that the final report has been filed in Crime No. 18 of 2023, without ascertaining the materials relied on by the investigating agency in the final report, this Court is not inclined to proceed with the available FIR.

The respondent Police shall ensure that the final report is taken on file within a reasonable time. It is not only the responsibility of the respondent Police, the trial Court is also expected to take the final report on file, without any delay.
