Brief facts of the case are that the marriage between the complainant Smt. Unnatti Bhadoriya and son of the present petitioner Nos. 1 & 2 namely Awadhesh Singh Bhadoriya was solemnized on 21.01.2011, it is alleged that after sometime of marriage the complainant Smt. Unnatti Bhadoriya was subjected to cruelty for demand of dowry by her husband and in-laws ultimately she lodged a complaint on 05.10.2023 to the police on which the FIR of Crime No. 65/2023 has been registered at Police Station, Mahila Thana, Bilaspur for the offence under Section 498-A, 506 and 34 of IPC against the present petitioners who are the in-laws of the complainant and her husband Awadhesh Singh Bhadoriya. The said FIR is under challenge in the present Criminal Misc. Petition No. 2741/2023. 6. Considering that the complaint has been filed on 05.10.2023 and FIR has been registered on the same day i.e. on 05.10.2023 but till date final report has not 4 been filed, therefore, the complainant has filed the present WPCR No. 78/2025 seeking a direction to the police authorities to file charge-sheet pursuant to the FIR No. 65/2023 registered at Police Station Mahila Thana, Bilaspur for the offence under Sections 498-A, 506 and 34 of IPC. 7. Learned counsel appearing for the State in both the cases would submit that the FIR has been investigated by the concerned police and closure report No. 01/2024 has been submitted on 21.11.2024 before the learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Bilaspur which is pending for its consideration. A copy of the final report dated 21.11.2024 is also placed in the CRMP No. 2741/2023 by the State counsel which is taken on record. 8. Since the FIR of Crime No. 65/2023 registered at Police Station Mahila Thana, Bilaspur, which is the subject matter in both these petitions, came to the conclusion and police report (closure report) No. 01/2024 has been submitted before the learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Bilaspur on 21.11.2024, it would be futile exercise to go into the merits of these petitions as the closure report has already been submitted by the police. 9. In view of the above, both these petitions are disposed of with liberty to the parties that they may take recourse to law, if cause of action subsequently arose and if so advised.
