Date: 21.08.2003: PC This is a transferred petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The petition was filed at Allahabad High Court for quashing the first information report dated 15.2.1995 and for quashing investigation in crime no. 25 of 1997 under section 406, I.P.C. By an interim order passed on 21.3.1997, the arrest of the petitioner under section 406 I.P.C. was stayed. However, the investigation was not stayed and respondents were directed to conclude the investigation expeditiously. In our view, the petition appears to have been rendered infructuous with passage of time. Hence, the petition is rejected. No order as to costs. (Rajesh Tandon, J.) (S.H.Kapadia, C.J.) AK.
