The petitioners prayer for appointment of Special Prosecutor was turned down by the government. In this writ petition, the learned Government Pleader on behalf of the State submitted that Adv.Sri.T.V.Babu Sathyanath is appointed as Special Prosecutor in this case. The petitioner appears to be satisfied with that statement. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is simultaneously making a request under Section 302 Cr.PC to permit his counsel to assist the Prosecutor. 2. In these circumstances, no further relief need be granted or directions issued in this Writ Petition .This Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. Needless to say, the petitioner''s request under section 301 Cr.P.C must be considered by the Prosecutor and the Court, in accordance with law. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) sj Crl.M.C.No. of 2007 2
