Hello,

File an RTI to know about the status of the case.

If the Final Report has been prepared by the police and they are not filing the same then you may approach the High Court seeking direction that the Final Report be produced before the magistrate concerned

Please verify if police has filed B report in court and whether the complainant has contested same. If B report is not filed you can approach high court.to quash FIR registered against you.under 482 Crpc.

1. If the Police has completed the investigation by closing the case on ' mistake of fact' then there is nothing to worry.

2. Once that Final Report is submitted you will come to know. Moreover the de facto complainant will also be informed by court about the closure report of police.

3. The court before accepting the closure report will hear the de facto complainant who can file protest petition after which the court can either accept the closure report and close the case or send the case for reinvestigation.

4. So wait for some time.

Dear Client,

If the closer report is still pending with police. You can apply to court to grant permission to travel abroad.

Court do not interfere until it is evident that u might avoid court trail if charge sheet fled.

And if you submit before the court your willingness to present proper security than court will permit.

Otherwise High Court.

If they will find no incriminating material against you in the investigation and there'll be no prima facie case against you, they'll file a final/closure report.

Let the IO file the above report in the Court.

You have the option to approach the High Court to expedite the investigation.

If no travel ban on you in bail then you can go abrod.there shall be no issue with pcc if already cancelled.

Also if police has prepared and no reporting file an application before concerned court to call upon the IO report.

Also you can go to high.court to expedite matter and for quashing also.

FIR is never cancelled. Only the Best summary report is filed if the case is false. Or state may withdraw the prosecution. In your case you need to file the quashing before the HC for quashing of FIR

The IO will then file a cancellation report against you when the final report is filed. You have to wait till the final report is filed.

You cannot travel abroad when there is a criminal case pending against you.

It is better you get confirmed about the closure of the FIR by police and then get a certificate from police about this which would enable you to proceed safely.

You can collect the status of FIR through RTI act also.

Yes sir if IO file a closure report the.complainant can challenge the same in magistrate court itself and after sworn statements the magistrate may proceed with case or reject the objection filed by him. He can go to appeal against same order. In case if the magistrate deems fit to continue then it will take shape of private complaint represented by complainant lawyer and you will be sent summons by court.

The judicial magistrate before whom the closure report is submitted shall send a notice to the defacto complainant seeking his objection to this, if no objection is received then the court may proceed to pass an order allowing the closure report.
