In the counter filed by Ranvir Singh, PPS, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Civil Lines, Amritsar on behalf of respondent no.1, the averment made is that the petitioner had actually been found innocent by SI/SHO, Police Station Civil Lines, Amritsar, whose report in the context has been accepted by the D.S.P. Civil Lines, Amritsar. It was in view of those facts that, the argument proceeds, the name of the petitioner had been shown in column no. 2 of the report under Section 173 Cr.P.C. Criminal Misc. No.M-12587 of 2008 -2- **** In the light of the averment in the counter, learned State counsel informs that Investigating Agency, on its own, is not inclined to at all proceed against the petitioner.

Ordered accordingly. September 17, 2008 (S. D. ANAND) Pka JUDGE
