The learned Public Prosecutor has taken instructions. A statement has been filed by the investigating officer. A copy of the statement has been made available for my perusal. The statement shows that the investigator has done the needful to conduct a proper investigation and it is expected that the investigation can be completed and a proper final report can be filed, at the earliest. 3. I find merit in the grievance of the petitioner that the investigation has not been done with sufficient expedition. Though the crime was registered as early as in 2005, even now the final report has not been filed. However, I am satisfied that W.P.C.No.19594/07 2 no further specific directions are necessary. I accept the statement of the learned Public Prosecutor that the investigation shall be completed and final report shall be filed within a period of six months from this date. 4. This writ petition is, in these circumstances, dismissed accepting the said submission of the learned Public Prosecutor.
