BASANT, J. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 34028 OF 2007 A ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 12th day of February, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is the wife of a deceased person in respect of whose death crime No.501/04 was initially registered. Dissatisfied with the conduct of the investigation in that crime registered under section 174 Cr.P.C., the petitioner had come to this Court and this Court, by Ext.P4 order, had directed the Superintendent of Police, CBCID, Palakkad to ensure that a proper investigation is conducted by the CBCID. Accordingly, the investigation was continued by the detecting inspector of CBCID, Palakkad. That investigation is still in progress. Final report has not been filed. The petitioner has now come to this Court dissatisfied with the progress of the investigation. According to the petitioner, proper investigation has not been conducted by the investigating officer. Report of the investigating officer was called for. Report has been filed. Copy has been furnished to the petitioner. The investigating officer, in the report, submits WPC.34028/07 : 2 : that a proper investigation has been conducted and the investigation is coming to the conclusion. 2. I am not satisfied that any directions need or deserve to be issued at this stage. The investigating officer must be given an opportunity to complete the investigation and file a proper final report. At the moment, no further directions deserve to be issued. 3. If the petitioner is aggrieved by such final report filed, needless to say, remedies available to her under law can be claimed by her. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner then prays that there shall be a specific direction to expeditiously file the final report. The learned Public Prosecutor submits that the investigation is almost complete and final report shall be filed within a period of one month from this date. 5. This writ petition is accordingly dismissed accepting that submission. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) aks
