In our opinion, if there is any deficiency in the police report and/or charge-sheet filed by the Investigating Officer or it may appear that further investigation is necessary, it is open to the petitioner, being complainant, to approach the concerned Court and persuade the said Court to pass appropriate directions against the Investigating Officer, including for further investigation under Section 173(8) of the Code. We hope and trust that, if such application is filed, the concerned Court will decide the same in accordance with law expeditiously. Even after the concerned Court were to issue direction to the Investigating Officer, if it transpires that the Investigating Officer has not fully complied with the directions or the further investigation has not been undertaken in its letter and spirit, it will be open to the petitioner to approach this Court for appropriate relief, which can be considered on its own merits, in accordance with law. 4. We dispose of this petition, leaving all questions open, with liberty to the petitioner as aforesaid. A.R. JOSHI, J. A.M. KHANWILKAR, J.
