ORDER

The petitioner is the accused No.108 in Crime No.314 of 2024 on the file of the respondent Police, which was registered for the offence under Sections 143, 341 and 290 IPC. They have moved this petition seeking to quash the FIR in Crime No.314 of 2024 registered against him.

2. Today, when this petition is taken up for hearing, the learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) submits that the investigation in Crime No.314 of 2024 was completed and the final report has also been filed before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.VI, Madurai, through e-filing in No.C202400561 on 13.12.2024.

3. Since it is reported that the final report has been filed in Crime No. 314 of 2024, 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. Therefore, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to challenge the final report, if he is having any ground. Mere filing of the final report through e-filing is not sufficient. The respondent Police shall ensure that the final report is taken 2/4

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. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
