IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2417 of 2009 GAUTAMI DEVI & ANR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 2. 16.4.2010. Heard. The court finds itself unable to quash the FIR of Bhagwan Bazar P.S.case No.197 of 2006. It was contended by Sri Ganesh Prasad Singh, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners that after having drawn up the FIR of the above case, the police is sitting tight over the matter and is not taking steps towards the conclusion of the investigation of the above noted case. The court cannot direct the police to shut down the investigation or submit a particular nature of report. But, the court could direct the police to investigate the case and that too within a particular period of time and to submit a report as soon as possible. Accordingly, I direct the Superintendent of Police, Saran at Chapra to personally review the development of investigation in Bhagwan Bazar P.S.case No.197 of 2006 or any connected matter which may be pending before the police and ensure that the investigation is completed in six months time from the date of receipt of - 2 - the copy of the present order by him by submitting a report which is found desirable to be placed before the court below by the police. This petition is disposed of with the above directions. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha, J. )
