In the circumstances, we are of the opinion that no interference is warranted in the present petition in exercise of writ jurisdiction at this stage. However, as and when the police report is filed by the Investigating Officer and in the event, the Petitioner is able to demonstrate deficiencies in the investigation done by the Investigating Officer, it will be open to the Petitioner to apply for appointing independent agency to undertake further investigation so that supplementary charge­sheet can be filed, if necessary. All questions in that behalf are kept open. Petition disposed of on the above terms. [ P.D. KODE, J ] [ A.M. KHANWILKAR, J ]
