It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that first information report was lodged on 08.05.2025 against the respondent nos.2 to 6, but the police is not investigating into the matter with promptitude. He further contends that speedy justice is a fundamental right of the petitioner. 3. Learned State Counsel supplied the instructions dated 03.06.2025 to the Court, which are taken on record. On instructions, learned State Counsel submits that perhaps the petitioner is not aware of the factual aspect of the matter that investigation has been completed and after investigation, charge-sheet has been submitted against respondent nos.2 to 6 under Sections 115(2), 191(2), 191(3), 333, 351(2) and 352 of BNS, 2023 on 19.05.2025. 4. In view of the statement made by learned State Counsel, nothing survives in the present writ petition. Accordingly, the same is closed. 5. Pending application, if any, stands disposed off accordingly. (Pankaj Purohit, J.) 05.06.2025 AK 2
