In an application filed before the Court, the government has said that it no longer wishes to pursue 13 FIRs from July CJP protests.
It has, therefore, requested the Court to invoke its special powers Article 142 of the Constitution to quash the FIRs.
The FIRs involve offences of rioting, attempt to murder and property damage.
However, the Centre has also said that it will continue prosecution against 2,873 individuals with "serious criminal antecedents".
It is proposing to register a single, fresh FIR against those persons.
