As much as, based on the complaint of the petitioner, a case in Crime No.221 of 2007 was registered on 19/20-11-2007, and, accused Nos.3 and 4 were apprehended and remanded to judicial custody, it cannot be said that the respondents are not proceeding with investigation.

The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of at the admission stage. No order as to costs. ---------------------------------- JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY DATE: 10-11-2007. Msnr.
