1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJSTHAN AT JODHPUR O R D E R S.B. Cr. Misc. Petition No. 193/2008 (Smt. Saroj Vs. State of Rajasthan) Date of order : 28.02.2008 P R E S E N T HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE H.R.PANWAR Mr. Manish Dadhich for the petitioner. Mr. J.P.S.Choudhary, P.P. BY THE COURT By the instant criminal misc. petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C., the petitioner seeks a direction to the respondent State of Rajasthan more particularly to the investigating agency to fairly investigate the FIR lodged by the petitioner being FIR No.420/2004 Police Station Purani Abadi, district Sri Ganganagar for the offences under Sections 406 and 498-A IPC. A notice was issued to the respondent State and the investigation diary was called for. Learned public prosecutor stated that presently the investigation is with CID (CB), Bikaner. Learned public prosecutor submits that the case diary has been received. 2 I have carefully gone through the police investigation diary. Presently the investigation is with CID (CB), Bikaner. Earlier, Vinod Kumar filed a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. being S.B.Cr. Misc. Petition No.477/2005 which came to be dismissed by this Court by an elaborate order dated 22.8.2006. Despite dismissal of the petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking quashing of the FIR, the police did not proceed with the investigation in the manner they ought to have proceeded. The FIR is of the year 2004 and now even after almost more than three years, investigation has not been concluded in either way. This may be because of frequent change of investigating agency. In the circumstances, therefore, I consider it expedient to direct the investigating officer to conclude the investigation fairly and submit the conclusion before the concerned Court within four months from today. Public prosecutor to return the case diary to the investigating officer to conclude the investigation as directed by this Court forthwith. With these directions, the criminal misc. petition stands disposed of. (H.R.PANWAR), J. rp
