Learned counsel for the State, on instructions, would submit that the pending enquiry against the petitioners has already been concluded and thus, the petition has become infructuous. 5. Taking into consideration the submission made by learned counsel for the State, the petition is disposed of, as the enquiry pending against the petitioners has already been concluded. However, the petitioners would be at liberty to revive their prayer if the cause of 3 action survives. 6. Accordingly, this petition fails and is hereby dismissed.
