In connection with the missing of petitioner’s wife and other allied incidents, as many as four criminal cases were registered by respondent No.5-Inspector of Police, Police Station Abids, Hyderabad. It has come out in the counter- affidavit that Crime Nos.131 and 143 of 2009 are pending investigation and while Crime Nos.326 and 398 of 2008 were closed, the petitioner filed a protest petition before the jurisdictional Magistrate in Crime No.398 of 2008. The grievance of the petitioner is that in Crime No.131 of 2009, which was registered in pursuance of reference made by the II Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate under Section 156 (3) Cr.P.C., for the offences under Sections 442, 448, 445, 454, 441, 447, 379, 307, 116, 391, 395, 384, 307, 506, 120 (b), 186, 217, 218 and 213 of the Indian Penal Code (for short “IPC”), proper investigation is not being conducted by respondent No.5. The petitioner, therefore, sought for transfer of the said case to any other Police Station. Having carefully considered the averments contained in the counter-affidavit, I do not find any reason to accept the petitioner’s prayer for transfer of Crime No.131 of 2009. However, respondent No.4 is directed to supervise the investigation into the said Crime and ensure that the investigation is completed expeditiously and an appropriate charge sheet/final report is filed therein, within a reasonable time, which shall not be later than three months from today. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, W.P.M.P.No.9473 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ___________________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 10th July, 2009 lur
