2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner representing Sri M. R. K.Chakravarthy, learned counsel and Sri Sridhar Bhuvanagiri learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 4.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the present writ petition has been filed challenging the inaction of the respondent Police in conducting investigation in FIR No. 455 of 2018, and seeking a direction to complete the investigation and not to insist for any settlement with the unofficial respondents.

4. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, on instructions, submits that the crime registered pursuant to the petitioner’s representation was duly investigated and that a final report was filed on 23.10.2019 before the Court of the XVII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad. He further submits that at no point did the police exert any pressure upon the petitioner to enter into a compromise with the unofficial respondents. It is therefore pleaded for dismissal of the petition.

5. I have perused the material available on record.

6. The gravamen of the petitioner’s contention is that the respondent Police failed to conduct a fair investigation in FIR No. 455 of 2018 and have been pressurizing the petitioner to enter into a compromise with respondent Nos. 5 and 6.

7. Having regard to the subsequent developments during the pendency of this petition, particularly the filing of the final report before the jurisdictional Magistrate, this Court is of the considered view that no further orders are called for in this matter. However, the petitioner’s right to avail appropriate remedies before the concerned Magistrate against the said final report, in accordance with law, is expressly reserved. It is further directed that the respondent Police shall not, in any manner, pressurize the petitioner to enter into any compromise relating to civil aspects.

8. With the above direction this Writ Petition is disposed of.

There shall be no order as to costs.
