He alleges that he came to know that his signature is being forged for the purposes of the said business and as such he filed a complaint in the Court below. The Court below in terms of Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure referred the matter to Police and directed to register an F.I.R. and to investigate. This application is for direction to the Police to conclude the investigation. A counter affidavit has been filed by the respondent-State stating that the investigation has not been able to be concluded because of non-cooperation of the informant himself. In spite of - 2 - repeated notices informant is not turning up to assist the investigation. The Petitioner has filed a rejoinder today in which he has said that subsequent to the counter affidavit being filed he along with his witnesses have appeared before the Supervising Authority and have been examined. This Court now expects that in such a situation the Investigating Authority would conclude the investigation at the earliest in accordance with law.
