This Criminal Writ Petition has been filed seeking quashing of the impugned F.I.R. dated 14.09.2021, registered as F.I.R./Case Crime No. 493 of 2021, for the offences punishable under Section 304 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3(2)(v) of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, at Police Station Haldwani, District Nainital, with a further prayer not to arrest the petitioners pursuant to the aforesaid F.I.R. 3. On the previous occasion, this Court had directed the learned State Counsel to obtain instructions in the matter. 4. Today, learned Additional Advocate General has placed before the Court the instructions received from the Investigating Agency, which are taken on record. On the basis of the said instructions, she submits that upon completion of the investigation, no role of the petitioners has been found in the UKHC010006012022 2026:UHC:5118 alleged incident. Consequently, a final report has been submitted before the competent Court. She, therefore, submits that the present writ petition has become infructuous. 5. Having considered the submissions advanced by the learned State Counsel and the instructions placed on record by the State, it is evident that the petitioners have not been charge-sheeted and no incriminating material has been found against them during the course of investigation. A final report has already been filed before the competent Court. 6. In view of the aforesaid submissions, the present Criminal Writ Petition is dismissed as having become infructuous.
