IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.384 of 2007 RAM SAJIWAN SAHRMA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 5 20.8.2008 KHAN No one appears for the petitioner ever today. This case was passed over on the earlier occasion. Heard learned counsel for the State. In the instant writ petition the petitioner prays for a direction to the respondents to conclude the investigation of Ahiyapur P.S.Case No.23 of 2007 dated 17.1.2007 registered under sections 302, 201 and 120Bof the Penal Code. The petitioner is the father-in-law of the deceased Manoj Kumar who was serving as Lance Naik in the Army. One Neelam Devi and others were made accused in the F.I.R. In course of investigation it transpired that the deceased had transferred some land in favour of Neelam Devi which was subsequently cancelled. Learned counsel for the State submits that in the instant case some of the accused were remanded to judicial custody and the delay in investigation is on account of non-turning up of prosecution side to provide necessary information to the police. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, it would be expedient in interest of the petitioner himself that prosecution side do cooperate with the police so that investigation may be completed at the earliest. With the aforesaid observation, this application stands disposed of. (S.P.SinghJ) - 2 -
