Counsel submits that in spite of above, the Police has unnecessarily issued notices to the petitioners under Sections 94/ 179 BNSS and although the petitioners have appeared before the Investigating Officer pursuant to the aforesaid notices, they have been harassed by the Police. Hence, interference of this Court is warranted. 3. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor submits that as per the factual report dated 25.11.2025 received from the S.H.O. Police Station Chitrakoot, District Jaipur (West), the involvement of the petitioners has not been found to be proved, hence, there is no cause of action has arisen qua the petitioners to approach this Court seeking quashing of the aforesaid F.I.R. Counsel submits that the notice under Sections 94/ 179 BNSS was issued to the petitioners for the purpose of making certain query in the investigation and thereafter therein statements have been recorded under Section 180 Cr.P.C. and they have been treated as witness in the instant case. Hence, under these circumstances, the petition is liable to be rejected on this count alone. 4. Heard and considered the submissions made at the Bar and perused the material available on record. 5. Considering the arguments put forward by learned Public Prosecutor and looking to the factual report furnished by the S.H.O. Police Station Chitrakoot, District Jaipur (West), this Court finds no reason to entertain this petition as no cause of action has [2025:RJ-JP:47966] (3 of 3) [CRLMP-6341/2025] arisen with the petitioners to file the instant criminal misc. petition. 6. With the aforesaid observation, the instant petition stands disposed of.
