JUDGMENT
This writ petition is filed with following prayers:
(i). issue a Writ of Certiorari or any other Writ, order or direction to quash the entire proceedings in pursuance of Crime No. 1064/2012 of Njarakkal Police Station against the petitioner, after calling for the records leading to its registration. (ii). Such other reliefs as deem fit and proper by this Hon’ble Court in the facts and circumstances of the case.
2. The main grievance of the petitioner is that even
though the case was registered as Crime No.1064/2012 by the Narakkal Police, final report is not filed and therefore, the proceedings against the petitioner may be quashed.
3. Today, when the matter came up for consideration,
the Public Prosecutor, after getting instructions, submitted that the final report in Crime No.1064/2012 of Narakkal Police Station was already filed on 13.10.2015 and it was initially pending before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court - I, Kochi, and now it is transferred to the jurisdictional court. If that be the case, the petitioner has to take appropriate steps in accordance with law. With the above observation, this writ petition (Criminal) is closed. sd/- P.V.KUNHIKRISHNAN JV JUDGE APPENDIX OF WP(CRL.) 573/2023 PETITIONER EXHIBITS Exhibit1 TRUE COPY OF ORDER OF THIS HON'BLE COURT IN CRL.M.C.NO.7665/2022 DATED
