Learned A.G.A. has produced before this court written instructions submitted by Sub Inspector Sri Raghvendra Pratap Singh, P.S. Hujoorpur, District Bahraich, wherein it has been stated that after investigation has been concluded chargesheet No. 143 of 2025 has been sent for submission in the learned court. 5.

Thus, this writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to approach the appropriate forum. (Brij Raj Singh, J.) (Sangeeta Chandra, J.)
