Respondents ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 3 27-08-2012 On the basis of fardbeyan of the petitioner, Nokha P.S. Case No. 239 of 2010, dated 12.10.2010 was registered under [STATUTE] against the accused persons, namely, Raju Choudhary, Surendra Chaudhary, Gaya Choudhary, Ranjan Choudhary and Sadhu Choudhary, all sons of Late Suryanath Choudhary, R/o village- Mauna Tola, P.S.-Nokha, District-Rohtas. A prayer has been made to direct the respondent to conduct free and fair investigation of the aforesaid case, apprehend the accused persons and recover the motorcycle looted in the incident. Patna High Court CR. WJC No.1076 of 2011 (3) dt.27-08-2012 2 / 2 2 A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondent no. 3, in which, it has been stated that the police is making efforts to arrest the accused persons and recover the motorcycle in question. The investigating officer has filed a petition before the concerned court praying for proclamation against the accused persons. The further contention is that very soon the charge sheet would be submitted in the case. In my view, since the matter is under investigation and the police is discharging its statutory duty, no direction is required to be given by the Court at this stage. However, it is expected that the police would conclude the investigation expeditiously. With this observation, the writ petition is disposed of. Sanjeet/- (Ashwani Kumar Singh, J)
