Mr.P.S.Bajwa, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, for the respondent(s)-State. M.M.S.BEDI, J Through instant petition, the petitioner seeks direction to the respondents to take appropriate action against all the culprits involved in FIR No.464 dated 10.12.2008 under Sections 420, 465, 468, 471, 120-B IPC, Police Station Tripuri, Patiala. Mr.Bajwa, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, on the instructions of Sub Inspector Satnam Singh, informs that two accused persons are still to be arrested and proceedings for securing their presence with the assistance of the Court are in progress. Warrants of arrest have been obtained for 13.12.2011. It has been submitted that inquiry has been conducted and report (Annexure P-12) has been prepared by Superintendent of Police, City Patiala. Since the FIR is of the year 2008 and steps are being taken to prepare the report under Section 173 Cr.P.C., no particular direction is warranted. It has also been assured by State counsel that in case on completion of investigation, challan is to be presented against any of the Criminal Misc.No.M-16608 of 2011(O&M) -2- accused. It would be done, reserving the right to present supplementary challan of the other accused. In view of the above circumstances, I do not find any ground to issue any direction. Nothing said in this order will prejudice the right of the Investigating Agency in any manner. Disposed of. (M.M.S.BEDI) December 07, 2011 JUDGE mamta
