2. Heard Mr.Pulla Rao Yellanki, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr.D.Pradeep, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, aggrieved by the inaction of respondent No. 3 in completing the investigation in FIR No. 200 of 2017, the present writ petition has been filed seeking appropriate directions. This Court, by an interim order dated 16.09.2018, directed the respondent police authorities to take expeditious steps for completion of the investigation. Accordingly, learned counsel prays for issuance of suitable directions.

4. On the other hand, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home submits that, after due investigation, a final report has been filed on 04.07.2019 before the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Devarakonda, classifying the matter as “civil in nature.” Therefore, it is contended that the grievance of the petitioner no longer survives for consideration and that the writ petition is liable to be dismissed.

5. I have perused the material on record.

6. The grievance of the petitioner pertains to the alleged inaction of the police in completing the investigation. However, as reported by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, the investigation has since been completed and a final report has been filed before the competent Magistrate. That being the position, the grievance of the petitioner stands effectively redressed by the respondents/police authorities.

7. Accordingly, reserving the right of the petitioner to avail appropriate remedies in accordance with law against the final report filed by the respondents/police authorities before the Magistrate concerned, this Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.

Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed.
