(1.) The instant petition has been filed under Sec. 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 ("Cr.P.C.") by the petitioners seeking quashing of the FIR bearing no. 592/2014 registered at P.S. Saket, New Delhi under Ss. 447/506 of Indian Penal Code ("IPC") and Sec. 3 of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, 1984 ("PDPP Act").
(2.) Brief facts, leading to the filing of present petition, are as follows:
(3.) Learned Counsel for the Petitioner submits that the Hon'ble Supreme Court, by order dtd. 4/5/2017 in C.A. No.6250/2017 confirmed the orders of this High Court dtd. 23/2/2016 in W.P. (C) No.960/2015 declaring that the land acquisition proceedings herein deemed to have lapsed under Sec. 24(2) of the LARR Act, 2013 w.e.f. 1/1/2014. So, the question of committing offences on 14/8/2014 under Sec. 447 and 506 IPC and Sec. 3 of PDPP Act by the Petitioner nos. 1 to 4 herein does not arise. Hence, the present FIR becomes infructuous and therefore, the same should be quashed.
