IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.370 of 2009 Rekha Singh @ Rakha, wife of Dipak Kumar, resident of B/214 Birla Colony, P.S. Phulwarisharif, district- Patna. .... Petitioner. Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The Director General of Police, Bihar, Patna, Old Secretariat, Patna. 3. The Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna. 4. The Officer-in-Charge, Phulwarisharif Police Station, Patna. .... Respondents. ----------- 04- 1.7.2009 Heard Mr. Dhirendra Kumar Jha for the petitioner, and Ms. Nividita Nirvikar, learned Government Pleader No.16.This writ petition has been preferred for a direction to entrust the investigation of the alleged crime to the Central Bureau of Investigation. 2. According to the writ petition, the petitioner’s husband (Dipak Kumar) was a Deputy Sales Manager in Reliance Telecom. He was missing since 28.11.2008, leading to first information report on 30.11.2008 (Annexure-1). The elder brother of Dipak Kumar is the first informant. The investigation proceeded wherein Ganga Sagar Ojha alias Tinku Ojha, Amit Kumar, and a few others have been arrested during the course of investigation who have ultimately been charge-sheeted. Learned counsel for the petitioner expresses dissatisfaction in the manner investigation has proceeded, and submits 2 that it should be entrusted to the Central Bureau of Investigation. In his submission, the investigation is not on the right lines, e.g. persons like Smt. Ganga Ojha, wife of Tinku Ojha, Santosh Singh, Nalini Singh etc. have not so far been interrogated. 3. The respondents have placed on record their counter affidavit. Learned Government Pleader No.16 has made appropriate submissions. 4. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. It appears to us that the investigating agency arrested Tinku Ojha, Amit Kumar, and a few others during the course of investigation who have been charge-sheeted. The learned Government Pleader has also placed before us portion of the written instructions which is reproduced hereinbelow for the facility of quick reference. “15. On the basis of secret information, a direction to verify the contact of Nalini Singh with Santosh Singh from whose mobile No.9939393885, they talked, has already been given to the I.O.” It thus appears to us that the supervising officer has already directed the investigating officer to interrogate Nalini Singh and Santosh Singh. This substantially 3 takes care of the grievances of the petitioner. It goes without saying that it will be open to the investigating agency to interrogate any other person(s) against whom suspicion arises. 5. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of.
