On two separate reports lodged by the petitioner, respondent No.1 registered Crime No.687 of 2009 on 05.12.2009 for the offences under Sections 363, 447, 323, 379 and 506 IPC. The limited grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that respondent No.1 has not been completing the investigation. A counter affidavit is filed by the Sub-Inspector of Police, III Town Police Station, Visakhapatnam, who is the investigating officer. It is inter alia stated therein that he has commenced the investigation and in course of the same, he has examined 6 witnesses and recorded their detailed statements under Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, that during the course of their examination, the witnesses produced documents relating to the property in T.S.No.40 of Lakshmi Nagar layout, that one person by name K. Rama Koteswara Rao filed Writ Petition No.25401 of 2009 and obtained an order from this Court on 20.11.2009 with the direction to the police not to interfere in the civil disputes. It is, however, stated that the investigation is still pending for want of collection of documents and examination of some more witnesses and the deponent has assured this Court that he will complete the investigation as expeditiously as possible and file an appropriate report/charge sheet before the jurisdictional Magistrate at the earliest. Having regard to the stand taken by respondent No.1 in the counter affidavit, the writ petition is disposed of directing him to complete the investigation and file appropriate report/charge sheet within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.13530 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. __________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 19.07.2010.
