Even though the petition was filed under Section 173(8) Cr.P.C, since the prayer of the petitioner was for re-investigation, it was dismissed. I see no illegality in the order passed by the learned Magistrate. However, it is made clear that the order passed by the learned Magistrate shall not preclude the petitioner from filing an appropriate petition for proper and further investigation. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE sj
