The petitioner is at liberty, as complainant, to file a protest petition before the jurisdictional criminal court against the final report. No action is warranted in this writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed granting liberty to the petitioner to pursue appropriate steps in accordance with law. No costs. _________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J Dated:14-09-2006 Pvks/*
