A statement has been filed by the A.S.P., Punalur, who is conducting the investigation in this case. In that statement the A.S.P. complains that the petitioner is not co- operating with the investigators and he is not making himself available for questioning. His assistance and co-operation is required for completing the investigation, it is submitted. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits this submission is absolutely incorrect. The petitioner is willing to co-operate with the investigators. He shall make himself available before the Investigating Officer and co-operate with the investigation, the counsel asserts. 3. I am, in these circumstances, satisfied that further proceedings in this Writ Petition can be closed with specific W.P(C).No. 38114 of 2007 2 direction to the petitioner to make himself available for interrogation before the Investigating Officer, i.e. the A.S.P. Punalur, on a specified date with further direction to the Investigating Officer to complete the investigation expeditiously as possible. 4. This writ petition is accordingly allowed in part directing the petitioner to make himself available for interrogation before the A.S.P. Punalur at 11 a.m. on 7.4.2008. He shall appear before the Investigating Officer as and when directed in writing by the Investigating Officer. I need only mention that I expect the Investigating Officer to complete the investigation as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of four months from 7.4.2008. 5. Issue copy of the judgment to the learned Govt. Pleader. (R. BASANT) Judge tm
