JUDGMENT

The writ petitioner's son died due to electrocution on 14.10.2013. Regarding the said incident, a crime was registered under Section 174 Cr.P.C. initially. Finding something wrong in the investigation, he filed this writ petition for a writ of mandamus directing the police to keep watch over the place of incident, till final report is filed. Now, there is report that investigation is over, and that the police has submitted final report in court under Section 304 IPC, and also under Sections 12(1), 13(4) and 17(a) of the Electricity Act. In such a situation, this writ petition need not proceed.

The report of the police is recorded, and the writ petition is closed.
