Therefore, this Court directs the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna to 3 take cognizance of the petition of the petitioner and direct for proper enquiry by any authority of his choice and get the matter examined for proper action. If he feels proper, he may also direct for change of the Investigating Officer of the case with a specific direction to investigate the case on correct lines and submit a report. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. However, it is made clear that this Court has not gone into the merit of the allegation of the petitioner which has to be necessarily enquired into by the competent authorities. B.T. (J.N. Singh, J.)
