CORAM : D.D. SINHA AND A.P. BHANGALE , JJ. DATED : OCTOBER 7, 2008 The Counsel for the petitioner is absent. Heard Shri Sonare, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondents. In the normal course, we would have dismissed this petition for want of prosecution. Shri Sonare, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondents, states that in the present petition, petitioner is seeking direction to transfer investigation of Crime No. 236/2008 registered by the Panchpaoli Police Station under Sections 147, 148, 149, 341, 307, 302, 427 read with Section 34 of Indian Penal Code and Section 135 of the Bombay Police Act to the State C.I.D. It is submitted that investigation is already over and charge-sheet is also filed in the competent criminal 2 Court on 9.9.2008. It is contended that on the earlier occasion, grievance of the petitioner was that during the course of investigation, statements of material witnesses were not recorded by the Investigating Officer. However, the Investigating Officer thereafter recorded statements of those witnesses, who would be examined as prosecution witnesses during the course of trial. In the backdrop of above referred facts, we do not intend to keep the present cirminal writ petition pending since grievance of the petitioner appears to have been redressed at this stage. The criminal writ petition is disposed of accordingly. JUDGE JUDGE khj
