The petitioner is wife of B.Krishna Rao, who worked as Mechanic in the College of Air Warfare, Secunderabad. Her husband took voluntary retirement after completing 20 years of service in the month of September 2003. On 28.6.2005 her husband went to the office and her efforts to contact her husband over cell phone proved to be futile. On receipt of call from the Railway police, she went to the Police Station. She was informed by the police that her husband died in a train accident and his dead body was lying in Gandhi Hospital. Then, she went to Gandhi Hospital and found dead body of her husband. A case in Cr.No.178 of 2005 came to be registered. There being no progress of the said crime, she choose to approach this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Heard the leaned counsel for the petitioner and perused the material placed on record. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents are not conducting the investigation in Cr.No.178 of 2005 properly. A fact remains that the case in Cr.No.178 of 2005 came to be registered regarding the suspicious death of B.Krishna Rao, who is the husband of the petitioner. In that view of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to complete the investigation and file a final report. No costs. _________ 16-07-2008 rkk
