named in the F.I.R.. They have been implicated in this case on the statement of one Dhan Devi, who is sister-in-law of the petitioners and they have been assigned role of causing injuries to the deceased by brick and stones. There is no such allegation against the petitioners in F.I.R.

6. Upon perusal of impugned F.I.R., we find that the impugned F.I.R. giving rise to present writ petition was lodged on 25.03.2025. As such a period of more than one year and 8 months has rolled by from the date of lodging of the F.I.R. In the interregnum, the requisite police report/final report must have submitted by the concerned Investigating Officer against petitioner. It is on account of this reason that the learned counsel for petitioner have not responded even in revised call. 7. In view of above, we are of the opinion that by efflux of time the present writ petition has been rendered infructuous. 8. It is accordingly, dismissed as having rendered infructuous. 9.
