Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home and perused the record. The case of the petitioner is that the proprietor of respondent No.4, who collected monies from the petitioner, committed willful default in payment of the same and on his complaint, respondent No.3 registered crime No.316 of 2007 under Sections 406, 420 IPC and Section 5 of the A.P. Protection of Depositors of Financial Establishments Act, 1999. The main grievance of the petitioner is that though a crime was registered, neither the investigation has been properly made nor the proprietor of respondent No.4 is arrested. In pursuance of the directions given by this Court on 30.10.2007, the learned Assistant Government Pleader produced report filed by the DCP West Zone, Hyderabad in which it is mentioned that the investigation is in progress and the petitioner was asked to produce original fixed deposit receipts, but he has not so far produced the same. It is further mentioned that the DCP instructed the investigating officer to complete the investigation of the case on priority basis and that after completion of the same appropriate final report/charge sheet will be submitted before the jurisdictional Magistrate i.e., XIV Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Nampally, Hyderabad. Having regard to the contents of the report, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.3 to complete the investigation and file appropriate report/charge sheet within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.11230 of 2007 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 10.04.2008 ES
