A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the State and a separate counter affidavit has also been filed on behalf of the respondent no.8. The prayer of the petitioner is for directing the concerned respondent to arrest the accused persons i.e. respondent nos. 6 to 8 of Naubatpur P.S. Case No. 97 of 2008. It is submitted that in the said case the police has submitted the charge-sheet, however with respect to the main accused the investigation is still continuing and those persons have not been arrested. Learned counsel for the respondent no.8 submits that the said respondent is on bail. Learned counsel for the State submits that the investigation is being carried out sincerely. Notwithstanding the submissions of the parties, it goes without saying that the aforesaid Naubatpur P.S. Case No. 97 of 2008 should be investigated expeditiously without unnecessary delay. However, in case petitioner has any grievance against the investigation, it will be open for her to take appropriate legal steps permissible under the law including bringing it to the notice of the concerned Superintendent of Police, who shall look into the matter in accordance with law. The writ application stands disposed of with the above observations/directions. Manish/- ( Shailesh Kumar Sinha,J.)
