IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.1116 of 2007 PREM CHANDRA OJHA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 10 20.2.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the Vigilance. The grievance of the petitioner is that relevant information was supplied to the Investigating Officer on 4.10.2007, as contained in Annexure-12 to the reply to the counter affidavit and second counter affidavit filed on behalf of respondents 1 to 6. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that earlier the Vigilance had got sufficient time to conclude the investigation as the matter was within a very narrow compass. He further submits that the Vigilance is unnecessary prolonging the investigation which is causing undue hardship to the petitioner. Learned counsel for the Vigilance submits that the investigation would be concluded as early as possible. Having heard counsel for the parties, this court finds that sufficient time has already been granted to the Vigilance to conclude the investigation and other necessary information has been duly supplied to the Investigating Officer of the case long time back. In view of such circumstances, this court is of the view that the Vigilance must conclude the investigation within ten weeks from today. If the investigation will not be concluded within the aforesaid period, the court will take serious note of it as in past directions have been issued to conclude the same at the earliest. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this writ - 2 - KHAN petition stands disposed of. Let a copy of this order be handed over to Mr. Rakesh Kumar, learned counsel for the Vigilance.
