R.P. No.1108 of 2010 in Writ Appeal No.1925 of 2010 .................................................................... Dated this the 15th day of December, 2010. ORDER Ramachandran Nair, J. Heard Senior counsel Sri.K.Ramakumar appearing for the review petitioner, Government Pleader for respondents 4 to 8 and counsel appearing for respondents 2 and 3 who are the complainants before the Police for investigation against review petitioner. Judgment sought to be reviewed is our judgment upholding the direction given by the learned Single Judge to conduct investigation by the Crime Branch. Government Pleader confirmed that investigation is in progress and it has reached almost final stage. However, in between, counsel for the review petitioner and counsel for the complainants namely, respondents 2 and 3, submitted that parties have arrived at a settlement. If that be so, the Police also will be relieved of further investigation in the matter. We, therefore, dispose of the Review Petition directing the petitioner and the complainants to approach the Deputy Superintendent of Police 2 in charge of the investigation team, so that he can record the settlement and close the matter in accordance with the procedure prescribed under the Code of Criminal Procedure.
