That complaint was allegedly filed before the 1st respondent on 11.05.2007. Not seeing any positive action on the part of the respondents, the petitioner had come to this Court on 25.06.07. The learned Public Prosecutor was directed to take instructions. 2. Today, when the matter came up for hearing, the learned Public Prosecutor submits that Crime No.724 of 2007 of Kunnamkulam Police Station has been registered on 29.06.2007 on the basis of Ext.P1 complaint. The needful is being done and a proper and efficient investigation shall be conducted, submits the learned Public Prosecutor. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner is dissatisfied with the action taken admittedly now. However, I am satisfied that the submission of the learned Public Prosecutor can be accepted and the Investigators can be given time to conduct a proper and efficient investigation and file final report expeditiously. No further specific directions appear to be necessary. W.P.C.No.19591 of 2007 2 4. This Writ Petition is, dismissed, after taking note of the submissions made by the learned Public Prosecutor that a crime has been registered and the investigation shall be completed expeditiously. Needless to say, if there is no proper, efficient and expeditious investigation, the petitioner's right, to approach this Court later, shall remain unfettered by the dismissal of this Writ Petition.
