Notice was given. The Investigating Officer has filed a statement. He asserts that the petitioners are not required to appear before the Investigating Officer at all, though he has a grievance that one of the petitioners had not appeared before the Investigating Officer on the dates specified, which assertion is denied by the petitioners. If he has any grievance, he must take appropriate steps. However, in the light of the statement filed by the Investigating Officer that the petitioners need not appear any longer and he has not issued any such directions, I am satisfied that this Crl.M.C can be dismissed and no further directions are necessary. This Crl.M.C is, in these circumstances, dismissed. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) rtr/- 2
