IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.833 of 2010 IALITA KUMARI Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 03. 26.08.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing for the State. Petitioner is the informant of Bramhapura P.S. Case No. 100 of 2010, instituted for the offence under section 364 / 365 / 34 of the Indian Penal Code on 28.05.2010. As per the prosecution, the son of the informant, Rajiv Kumar, aged about 23 years, is a student of M.A. in Anugrah Narain College at Patna. He was coming with his distant relative Prashant Kumar and near over-bridge of Patna-Muzaffarpur National Highway, north Chandani Chowk, he came out of the Car and since then he is not being traced out. Suspicion has been raised against one Lal Babu Singh, who had earlier given some threatening to the son of the informant. Prayer of the petitioner is for issuance of writ of habeas corpus, directing the respondents to produce her son, who has been kidnapped and also for a direction to the Police Officer to arrest the accused person. Counsel appearing for the State submits that some of the accused persons have already been arrested, investigation is going on and so far as the recovery of the son of the informant is concerned, it has not been done 2 as yet. We find that “how to investigate a case” is completely within the jurisdiction of the police. The provision under sections 157 to 173 Cr.P.C. relates to the investigation of the case and on completion of the investigation, submission of charge-sheet / final form. It has been decided in many cases of the High Court and the Apex Court that the investigation part in a criminal case is within the specific jurisdiction of the Police and the Investigating Agency. The Court can not direct how to investigate a case. In the present case, we do not find any reason to interfere in the matter, since as submitted by the Counsel for the State, investigation is going on and the case has been instituted only in the month of May, 2010. Considering the progress of investigation, we do not find that there should be any reason to be dissatisfied even to the informant. In case the informant has any complain or grievance against the investigation, she has remedy by filing application before the Magistrate as provided under the Cr.P.C. This application is dismissed.
