Para 3 (III) of the said affidavit reads as under:- “3(III) That sub para 3 (III) of the petition is denied CRM No. M 5142 of 2009 2 being incorrect. It is further submitted that Warrants of arrests obtained from the Court of CJM Amritsar on 27.03.2008 which were disposed of on 14.07.2008 due to stay orders issued by higher Courts. Again arrest warrants against accused Suhel Bablu and Bhavisav Mehra were obtained on 31.03.2009 by the Court of CJM Amritsar and accused Kunal Sharma has been expired on 27.01.2009 while going to pilgrimage towards Dharamshala. It is further submitted that Bhavisav Mehra has been arrested on 05.04.2009 and a knife was recovered from his possession.” It is pointed out by learned State counsel that PO proceedings are pending against Suhel Bablu. As such, investigation is going on in a fair and impartial manner. One accused is arrested. The second has died and P O proceedings are pending against the third. There is no reason at this stage to hand over the investigation to any other agency. Court has no doubt that the same shall be conducted in a fair manner. Accordingly, the present petition is disposed of with a direction to the Investigating Agency to conclude its investigation and submit the final report in the concerned Court as expeditiously as possible in accordance with law preferably within a period of three months from today.
