The learned Public Prosecutor submits and a statement to that effect has been filed by the fourth respondent that the investigation is almost complete now. There are two accused in the crime who have both secured orders granting them bail. DNA test is to be conducted. The allegation is that the petitioner was raped and in such relationship, a child was born. The result of the DNA test is awaited. As soon as the result of the DNA test is received, steps shall be taken to file the final report and close the investigation in the case, it is submitted. 3. I am, in these circumstances, satisfied that no further directions need be issued in the matter. The investigating officer must take all steps to ensure that he gets the DNA test results and files the final report, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of four months from this date.
