The learned Public Prosecutor submits that the case is still under investigation by the Crime Branch Police. 3. It is too early for this court to consider whether the allegations in the F.I.R prima facia make out the offences alleged therein. The investigation is still in the nascent stage. Details of the offences, if any, will be fully unravelled only at the conclusion of investigation. The petitioners can approach the court in case a final report charge sheeting them is filed by the police after the Crl.M.C. No.2595 of 2009 : 2 : conclusion of the investigation and in case there appear grounds to quash the same. Reserving this right of the petitioners, this Criminal M.C is disposed of directing the Investigating Officer to file a final report under Section 173 (2) Cr.P.C, within three months from today, during which period the petitioners shall not be harassed by the Police.
