5. I have perused the materials on record.

6. The petitioner's contention is related to the proceedings in the Crime No.421 of 2016. Frmher, the petitioners except the Ie adings, does not indicate any material particulan showing the ill -) rreatment or illegal confinement. Pertinently, the aspect that the petitionen have not raised any contention before the jurisdictional Magistrate at relevant time is explaining the circunstance otherwise. However, having regarding to the fact that the crimes which were registered against the petitioners had ended in acquiaal and corsidering the fact that the petitioners are not prosecuting this petition is indicating that the grievance has been effectively redressed upon the acquittal in the related crimes. In the situation, this C-oun is of the considered view that no ftuther orden would be required in this petition. However, leaving open to the petitioners, to file appropriate petition for revival of this petition, if the cause still nee& adjudication, this petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. Miscellaneous Petitions, pending if any, shalll tand closed. SD/. S.MALLIKARJUNA RAO ASSISTANT REGISTRAR i,,;r' SECTION OFFICER //TRUE COPYi/ To, 'l .
