JUDGMENT

The petitioner herein seeks a writ of mandamus directing the Vigilance to register a crime on his complaint. His grievance is that the police declined the request in spite of the report of enquiry substantiating the allegations. Now, there is a report from the respondents that the Vigilance has already registered a crime on the petitioner's complaint, and that the investigation is in progress. It appears that the petitioner is now satisfied. In fact his prayer does not go beyond registration of crime. Accordingly, the report submitted by the Vigilance is recorded, and the writ petition is closed.
