That crime was registered on the basis of a private complaint filed before the learned Magistrate and referred to the Police by the learned Magistrate under Sec.156(3) Cr.P.C. 2. The petitioner has come before this Court with a prayer to issue appropriate directions regarding the proper conduct of the investigation. Notice was given to the learned Public Prosecutor. After taking instructions, the learned Public Prosecutor submits and a report to that effect has been filed by the 1st respondent- Investigating Officer, that a proper investigation has already been conducted and negative final report has been filed before the learned Magistrate. It is for the petitioner, if he is aggrieved by the said final report, to raise his objections, it is submitted. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner after being apprised all the events that have taken place in the crime registered at the W.P.(C)No.19187 of 2007 2 instance of the petitioner, submits that the petitioners shall do the needful to challenge the final report and no further directions are now necessary. 4. This writ petition is accordingly dismissed. The dismissal of this writ petition does not in any way fetter the right of the petitioner to challenge the negative final report by initiating appropriate proceedings before the learned Magistrate (R.BASANT, JUDGE) sj
