It is the allegation of the petitioner that Fatuha P.S.case No.257 of 2007 was registered as back as on 17.11.2007, but till date the investigation is kept pending. Having heard learned Counsel for the petitioner, A.C. 2 to A.A.G.IX for the State and taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it expedient that respondent no.6, Superintendent of Police (Rural), Patna ensures conclusion of the investigation of the case without unnecessary delay. I direct accordingly. As regards other reliefs sought for in the present application, petitioner is given liberty to take recourse to any other appropriate proceeding. Application stands disposed off with the direction aforesaid. Narendra/ (Chandramauli Kr. Prasad, ACJ.)
