Hence, nothing survives for further adjudication.

3.Since this petition is filed to quash the FIR, now the first respondent police, after completion of investigation filed a final report before the concerned Court and as per FIR there are some allegations to constitute the offence, it is for the petitioner to challenge the final report, in the manner known to law, if he is aggrieved.

4.In view of the same, preserving liberty of the petitioner to challenge the final report, this criminal original petition stands closed. Since the 1st respondent has filed the final report through online, it is for the

trial Court to take appropriate steps on the final report filed by the 1st respondent, in accordance with law, without any delay. 18.03.2025 Internet :Yes Index :Yes/No NCC :Yes/No PNM To
