Today when the petition is taken up for hearing, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor has produced a copy of instructions of the Inspector of Police, Krishna Lanka Police Station, Vijayawada wherein it is stated that the Police, after due investigation, on 01.02.2022 have filed a charge sheet vide CF.No.157 of 2022 on the file of SCST-cum-ACB Court, Vijayawada and that SC number is awaited. 4. In view of the fact that the Police have completed the investigation in the case on hand and have filed a charge sheet vide CF.No.157 of 2022 on the file of SCST-cum-ACB Court, Vijayawada and as the SC is yet to be numbered, this Court, instead of keeping the present petition pending, feels it appropriate to dispose of the same by directing the Police to see that the SC is numbered as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. However, the Police are directed not to take any coercive steps as against the petitioner herein. 5. Accordingly, this criminal petition is disposed of.
