Dear Sir / Madam,

(Atul Nagar / Karvenagar / Navsahyadri, Chinchwad, Pune, Maharashtra)

The annulment or declaration of an FIR as invalid by the sitting bench indicates that there is no prima facie damage, harm or loss of any nature caused to anybody. It is an order by the jury disposing off the matter as baseless without any grounds for seeking justice closing the case with no further proceedings.
