2. When the matter is taken up for consideration today, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor on instructions submitted that there are totally two accused involved in this case, in which, the petitioner herein is arrayed as second accused. He further submitted that the respondent herein has already completed the investigation and filed a final report only as against the first accused and the same has been taken cognizance in STC.No.263 of 2026 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate, Karimangalam, Dharmapuri District. Infact, the said accused has also admitted his guilt and paid fine. Therefore, since the petitioner is not named as an accused in the final report filed by the respondent police in Cr. No. 432 of 2024, the question of quashing the FIR does not arise.
