allegation made in the said FIR filed by the respondent No.2complainant and therefore C-Summary report is filed before the Metropolitan Magistrate, 29^th Court, Bhoiwada.

¶15

In the light of the C-Summary report filed in subject FIR by the concerned Police Station the grievance raised in this petition shall not survive.

¶16

The learned counsel for the respondent No.2complainant submits that this Court by ad-interim order dated 09.02.2017 restrained the Bhoiwada Police Station from filing the charge-sheet in subject crime and therefore, C-Summary Report could not have been filed. This submission cannot be accepted as the ad-interim order was granted at the instance of the petitioner who came for quashment of the subject FIR. It is also pertinent to note that even this Court permitted the Investigating Officer for continuation of the investigation in subject crime. When the Investigation Officer found that there is no substance in the said FIR, the C-Summary report was filed. If the respondent No.2complainant wants to object the same he can always file protest petition before the Magistrate and the learned Magistrate shall decide the C-Summary Report after hearing both the

sides including the petitioner.

¶19

Subject to above we dispose of the petition and direct the learned Metropolitan Magistrate to dispose of the C-Summary Report as expeditiously as possible and within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of this order.
