No. 0519 of 2021, registered against them for offence punishable under Sections 420 & 120-B of I.P.C. in Police Station Bhagwanpur, District Haridwar. 3. Learned State Counsel, on instructions, submits that the Investigating Officer has filed charge- sheet against the petitioners before the court concerned on 04.11.2021. Thus, he submits that the writ petition has become infructuous. 4. The said contention, however, cannot be accepted. The impugned F.I.R. is on record as Annexure No. 1 to the writ petition.

In such view of the matter, there is no scope for interference with the impugned FIR while exercising extraordinary power under Article 226 of the Constitution. 8. Accordingly, the writ petition fails and is dismissed.
