IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.396 of 2009 MAHESH KUMAR s/o Sri Kamal Sah, r/o village- Kerma, P.S. Kurhani, District- Muzaffarpur. Versus 1. STATE OF BIHAR through Director General of Police, Bihar at Patna. 2. Dy. Inspector General,Tirhut Range at Muzaffarpur. 3. Superintendent of Police, Muzaffarpur. 4. Officer-in-charge, Maniari Police Station, District- Muzaffarpur. ----------- 3 16.11.2009 Petitioner is an informant in respect of a case under section 302 IPC and other sections for the murder of his own brother while he was traveling on a motor cycle. Police recorded his statement on the spot. Petitioner first filed this writ petition alleging that FIR named accused persons against whom process had been issued were not being arrested. A counter affidavit has been filed in which it is stated that on due supervision it has come to light that FIR named accused persons have been falsely implicated whereas , in fact, the crime was committed by some persons whose identification is also disclosed. Petitioner submits that the investigation has been turned around only to protect the accused persons. Be that as it may, it is well settled that this Court cannot either supervise the investigation nor can it conduct the investigation. Investigation is exclusive domain of the police. However, one thing remains. The police must conclude the investigation at an early date if as stated in the counter affidavit there are three other persons who are actually involved then having known this, police must end the investigation and file a chargesheet in the matter. Petitioner appears to 2 be aggrieved by the police action in trying to exonerate the culprits. Petitioner has his remedy and can avail thereof by filing a protest- cum- complaint in accordance with law. It is for the petitioner to exercise his right. This Court cannot interfere in the matter at this stage except direct the police to conclude the investigation as early as possible preferably within a period of six months from today. With the above observations and directions, this writ petition stands disposed of. Singh (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
