RESPONDENTS ----------- 3. 18/05/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. This writ application has been filed by the petitioner for a direction to learned S.D.J.M., Muzaffarpur West to conclude the enquiry in Complaint Case No.1140 of 2007 and pass appropriate orders. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that a complaint was filed by the petitioner which was numbered as Complaint Case No.C-1140 of 2007. He submits that on his complaint a report was called for by the court below from the police which have been submitted to the court below. However, in spite of receipt - 2 - of the said report, the court below is not taking any action in the matter. It goes without saying that after a complaint is received by the court in which enquiry under section 202 Cr.P.c. is started, the same has to be concluded either by way of dismissal of the complaint case under the provisions of section 203 Cr.P.C. or by issue of processes under section 204 thereof. However, the matter need not remain pending for ever and in the interest of justice the same requires to be concluded either way at an early date. In the circumstances, this Court directs learned court below to conclude the enquiry and pass orders on the complaint filed by the petitioner under either of the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure as noticed above at an early date. With the above observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. Pradeep/ (J. N. Singh, J.)
