By this writ petition, the petitioner is seeking transfer of the investigation to the State CID in C.R.No.214 of 2009 registered at Chembur Police Station Mumbai. In pursuance of the direction issued by this court, the Investigating Officer has submitted the report dated 19.3.2010 stating therein as to what steps have been taken by him since the date of registration of the offence. We have perused the report. It shows that T 2 the offence took place on 12.6.2009 at 12.30 noon. The crime was registered on the very same day bearing C.R. No.214 of 2009 for the offence under sections 452, 323, 506(2) read with 34 of IPC. In connection with this crime the police arrested four persons named in the FIR. Thereafter, a supplementary statement of the complainant, i.e the petitioner, was recorded on 24.6.2009. In this statement, he named three more persons as accused. In view thereof, these three persons are also shown as accused in the said C.R. The prosecution also applied section 395 of IPC. In the course of investigation, it appears that the Investigating Officer has recorded statements of 26 persons. Thereafter, on 22.1.2010 one more supplementary statement of the complainant was recorded. Mr Pol, learned incharge P.P, submits that the investigation is almost complete and they are ready to submit their report to the learned Magistrate 3 within two weeks from today. Mr Warunjikar, learned counsel for the petitioner, in the course of hearing, invited our attention to certain documents annexed to the petition and submitted that the I. O has not made any efforts to book the other persons involved in the case. He submitted that there were 15-20 more persons involved in the commission of crime and the police have not taken any steps against those persons. We have perused all the statements of the complainant. In none of his statements he named any other person as accused nor has stated about the attack by 20-25 persons, as stated in the petition. We are satisfied that the investigation carried out so far is satisfactory and we do not find any reason to transfer the investigation to the State CID. With these observations, the writ petition is disposed of. (R.V.MORE, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) 4
