1 WP.2243-2010 acd IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 2243 OF 2010 K.S. Narayanan & Anr. ...Petitioners. Vs. The State Maharashtra & Ors. ...Respondents. ----- None present for the Petitioners. Mr. P.A. Pol, PP, for the State. ----- CORAM: B. H. MARLAPALLE & U.D. SALVI, JJ. JUNE 20, 2011. P.C.: 1. None is present for the Petitioners who are the parents of the missing lady by name Sini Shaju who is the wife of respondent no.5 and daughter-in-law of respondent nos.6 and 7. The missing lady was working with the Ankur Pathology Laboratory for about 10 years prior to 5.5.2010 from which date she has been missing. 2. Pursuant to the orders passed by this court, the investigation reports came to be submitted from time to time and the latest report dated 2 WP.2243-2010 20.6.2011 is placed before us. The report states that on completion of the investigation, the final report has been submitted to the 53rd Court of Metropolitan Magistrate at Mulund for the offences punishable under sections 498A, 506 (2) read with 34 of IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act on 18.6.2011. The report further states that on 19.4.2011, an application was submitted for deletion of the offence punishable under section 364 and 302 of the IPC as the dead body of the missing person was not found at any time and the investigation also did not disclose that she was kidnapped. It is further stated that the said application for deletion of the charges has been allowed by the learned Metropolitan Magistrate. It has been further pointed out that an application has already been submitted to the trial court to continue further investigation under Section 173(8) of the Cr. P.C. and the said application has been allowed. Thus, the further investigation is in progress. It appears that the charge- sheet is filed against respondent nos.5 and 6, and respondent no.7 died during the pendency of this Petition. 3. We have noted down the undertaking of the Investigating Officer that he will continue with the further investigation as required under Section 173(8) of the Cr. P.C. and will submit the additional final 3 WP.2243-2010 report to the learned Metropolitan Magistrate. 4. Hence, nothing survives in this Petition. The Petition is disposed as such, but with liberty. (U.D. SALVI, J.) (B. H. MARLAPALLE, J.)
