Investigation was conducted. Later the section of offence was altered to Section 366 I.P.C. Investigation continued. Apprehending that the police may proceed against the first petitioner as an accused, the petitioners – prospective accused and the allegedly missing girl – have come before this Court with this petition to contend that there is no crime committed and the proceedings are liable to be quashed. 2. The learned Prosecutor submits that the investigation is complete. The petitioners need not apprehend that any action will follow against the first petitioner. Investigation has revealed that no offence has been committed and immediate steps shall be taken to report that fact to the learned Magistrate and close the proceedings. In these circumstances, I am satisfied that the Crl.M.C.No. 3326 of 2008 2 submissions of the learned Prosecutor can be accepted and no further directions need be issued. 4. This Crl.M.C. is accordingly dismissed, accepting the submissions of the learned Prosecutor. (R. BASANT) Judge tm
