1. Case is taken up in the revised list. No one is present for the petitioner (s).
Learned AGA is present for the State.
2. We have perused the office report dated 11.5.2026 which is quoted as
below:-
"As per report submitted by the Legal Cell, O/o Director General of Police,
U.P., the charge-sheet has been filed."
3. In view of the fact that charge-sheet has already been submitted and since
the writ petition is challenging the FIR, we are of the view that the writ
petition be dismissed and it be consigned to record.
4. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. The petitioner (s) may avail
such remedy as might be available under law.
