4. This Court consistently directed the investigation authority to file the charge sheet. On 18.02.2022, the learned High Court Government Pleader filed a memo stating that in respect of Crime No.85/2016, the charge sheet came to be filed on 11.05.2020 and the next date of hearing is fixed on 15.03.2022 and in respect of Crime No.111/2016, the charge sheet came to be filed on 08.09.2021 and the next date of hearing is fixed on 15.03.2022.
5. In other wards, the case is now posted for appearance of the accused before the jurisdictional Magistrate in both the cases.
6. Since the charge sheet is filed in both the cases, the question of quashing the FIR would not arise. 6 Reserving liberty for the petitioners to file an appropriate application before the jurisdictional Court, these petitions are disposed of.
In view of disposal of the main petitions, pending application, if any, does not survive for consideration and the same stands disposed of.
