COPC 45/2009 7.5.2009 Present: Mr. Dinesh Bhanot, counsel for the Petitioner. The precise case of the petitioner is that directions issued by this court on 25th October, 2007 have not been implemented. In other words, the investigation was required to be completed within two months. In the present petition, petitioner had added the then Secretary (Home), Mr Parboth Saxena and Mr. Ashwani Kumar, the then Director General of Police, Police headquarters, Shimla. We are of the considered opinion that once the incumbents had been transferred from their present place of posting, it was necessary for the petitioner to add the present incumbents, i.e. Principal Secretary (Home) and Director General of Police, Himachal Pradesh, as party respondents. Confronted with this, Mr. Bhanot prays and is allowed to withdraw the petition. However, liberty is reserved to the petitioner to take appropriate action in accordance with law. ( R.B. Misra ), Judge. ( Rajiv Sharma ), Judge. 7th May, 2009 (sl)
