ORDER

On 20.11.2025, the learned Public Prosecutor, has placed a report of the Station House Officer, Chalakkudy, before this Court in which it was stated that a Final Report had been filed in connection with the crime involved in this case as ‘undetected’ subject to the option of the Investigating Officer to reopen the case in accordance with the directions of the Civil Court in the matter pending before that court.

2. The learned counsel representing the petitioners and the

2nd respondent submitted that the Civil Suits pertaining to the administration of the temple concerned, are still pending.

3. Since the Investigating Agency has filed a Final Report in Crime No.1145 of 2019 of the Chalakkudy Police Station as ‘undetected’, the prayer in this Crl.M.C. to quash the FIR registered in that case has lost its significance.

Accordingly, the Crl.M.C. stands closed, leaving open the option of the petitioners to file a fresh petition in the event of revival of investigation in this crime.
