IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.1223 of 2008 AKHLESH KUMAR PANDEY Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 4. 8.9.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner lodged Kahalgaon P.S. Case No. 382/2008 on 27.7.2008 when the dead body of his brother was discovered abandoned near the railway line, against unknown assailants stating that the body bore two fire arm injuries. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the investigating officer attempted to derail the investigation by suggesting that it was a case of an accidental death by collusion with a train. The petitioner therefore sought direction from this Court for a proper, fair and impartial investigation. Counter affidavit has been filed affirmed by the S.D.P.O. (Deputy Superintendent of Police) Kahalgaon. Paragraph 5 states that during investigation the involvement of one Haribol Jha has come to light and charge sheet has been submitted against him. In his confession under Section 164 Cr. P.C. on 16.5.2009 he has disclosed the name of his associates and the same is under investigation. The respondents appear to have woken up only after the petitioner has agitated the matter in this Court, what was otherwise a routine duty on their part. In the facts of the case and the investigation as it has progressed, there is no occasion for this Court to pass any further 2 orders except to direct the Superintendent of Police, Bhagalpur to ensure that the investigation is concluded at an early date in accordance with law, charge sheet filed and the accused apprehended expeditiously without any unnecessary delay. It is expected that the respondents shall not provide the petitioner with any opportunity to have to approach this Court again for similar relief. The writ application stands disposed off. P.
