2. None appeared on behalf of the petitioners.

3. Heard Mr.D.Pradeep, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 7.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that, based on the representation made by the petitioners, a case was registered in Crime No. 92 of 2019, and as the accused was found to be a juvenile, he was produced before the Juvenile Justice Board / V Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, where the case was numbered as JCC No. 355 of 2021. After due enquiry and trial in accordance with the provisions of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, the matter culminated in a conviction on 02.12.2020. In view of such culmination of proceedings, submits that the contention raised by the petitioners seeking addition of further penal provisions or sections of law no longer survives for consideration, and accordingly, prays for dismissal of the writ petition.

5. I have perused the material available on record.

6. The grievance of the petitioners is that the respondent police authorities failed to incorporate certain relevant penal provisions, including those under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 (POCSO Act), in the charge registered against the accused. Consequently, they seek appropriate directions for inclusion of such provisions.

7. However, in view of the subsequent developments during the pendency of this petition, namely, the filing of the charge sheet, the conduct of proceedings before the Juvenile Justice Board, and the conviction of the accused, it is evident that the matter has already been adjudicated upon by the competent judicial forum. Therefore, no further directions are warranted at this stage regarding the addition or modification of penal provisions.

8. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed as infructuous. There shall be no order as to costs.

Miscellaneous Petitions, pending if any, shall stand closed.
