Holding
The petition is dismissed as there is no surviving issue after the case was re-registered and a charge sheet filed.
Summary
The petitioner filed a criminal writ petition seeking investigation into Crime No. 165 of 2023 registered at Majalgaon Police Station, but the case had been transferred and re-registered as Crime No. 113 of 2023 at Beed City Police Station, where a charge sheet was filed and a Sessions case is pending. The court noted the discrepancy in the petition's reference to the crime number and observed that the matter had progressed to the filing of a charge sheet and ongoing trial. Considering the passage of time and the subsequent procedural developments, the court found that the petition no longer had any surviving issue. Consequently, the petition was dismissed as there was nothing left to adjudicate. The disposition was that the petition was disposed of.

Per Court:
. Heard.
2. Though the petition appears to be filed for carrying out the
investigation in Crime No. 165 of 2023 registered with Majalgaon
City, Police Station, instead of Crime bearing No.113 of 2023
registered with Beed (City) Police Station, but the record shows that
the initial Crime No. 165 of 2023 was registered at Majalgaon Police
Station. Subsequently, it was transferred to Beed (City) Police
Station under Crime No. 113 of 2023. The report of the Resource
Personnel of this Court clearly indicates that pursuant to Crime No.
113 of 2023 of Beed (City) Police Station, a charge sheet was filed
and presently Sessions Case No. 194 of 2023 arising out of that, is
pending.
2 921 CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 917 OF 2023
3. Thus, with the passage of time and considering the
subsequent events, nothing survives in this petition and it stands
disposed of.
