Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioner No.1 got married to one Bhawna (respondent No.3). Both petitioner No.1 and respondent No.3 approached this Court for protection as they feared threat to their life and liberty. The counsel submits that this court was pleased to grant protection vide order, Annexure P-3. However, now the petitioners have come to know that an FIR has already been lodged by respondent No.2 against the petitioners on 08.02.2009. He further submits that since petitioner No.1 and respondent No.3 are living as husband and wife, no offence is made out and the FIR is liable to be quashed. Learned counsel for the State (on the instructions from S.I. Bhagwant Singh, who is present in Court) has submitted that according to his instructions petitioner No.1 and respondent No.3 are actually CRM No. M-6191 of 2009 2 living as husband and wife. He, therefore, submits that the Investigating Officer, who is present in court, is likely to submit a cancellation report shortly in this case. In view of the statement made by the learned State counsel, no cause of action survives in this petition as the prayer has been rendered infructuous. Disposed of.
