IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.891 of 2007 PAVITRA MUKHIYA Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 2 01.10.2008. In the instant case, the petitioner prays for proper investigation of Biraul PS case no. 37 of 2005 filed under sections 504, 316, 34 I.P.C. Grievance of the petitioner is that the investigation is not being carried out properly and police is trying to screen some of the accused persons. State counsel has filed counter affidavit stating therein that the investigation has been carried out in right earnest and in course of investigation police raided the house of accused persons but they absconded. Having heard the parties and going through the materials on record, this court directs the police to conclude the investigation preferably within four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Police would take all steps to nab accused persons. In case, they are hiding outside the territorial jurisdiction of the State, police will take recourse of section 79 Cr P.C. and other provisions of law. With the aforesaid observations and directions, the writ petition is disposed of. Shashi. (S.P.Singh,J)
