The above-said Crime was registered against six accused for offences under Sections 147, 148, 302 read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code (for short ‘IPC’). Respondent No.3-Inspector of Police, in his counter- affidavit, stated that the son of the deceased, aged about 7 years, was the eyewitness and according to his statement, accused Nos.1 to 3 alone participated in the commission of the above-mentioned Crime; that accused No.4 was in judicial custody in Central Prison, Chanchalguda since 20- 01-2009 in relation to Crime No.12 of 2009 and that the evidence collected so far did not reveal the participation of accused Nos.5 and 6 in Crime No.18 of 2009. Respondent No.3, however, stated that investigation in Crime No.18 of 2009 is still under progress and the same is pending for collection of further evidence against the suspected accused. He assured that after completion of investigation, appropriate steps will be taken. Since the investigation in Crime no.18 of 2009 is pending from January, 2009, I deem it appropriate to direct respondent No.3 to complete the investigation expeditiously and file necessary charge sheet/final report before the jurisdictional Magistrate within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.16358 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ___________________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 27th July, 2009 lur
