Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, DAG, Punjab for the State. Mr. Vipul Aggarwal, Advocate, for the applicant. **** RANJIT SINGH, J. Despite directions issued on 7.11.2011, status report has not been filed. It has been handed over in the Court today and is taken on record. The State should ensure that such reports are filed well before the date of hearing so that these can be properly considered. Be that as it may, as per the status report, Special Investigation Team is conducting investigation in this case and has found Nandanjit Kaur, W/o Hardip Singh, resident of House No.189, New Azad Nagar, 100 ft. Road, Amritsar, presently residing at House No.195, Gali No.9, Kot Atma Ram, Sultanwind Road, Amritsar, as an accused in this FIR. This aspect has also been approved by the Commissioner of Police, Amritsar. This finding perhaps is recorded on 21.11.2011. It is also stated that raids have been conducted at the residence of Nandanjit Kaur, but she was not found available at Crl. Misc. No. M- 1946 of 2011(O&M) -2- her house. Efforts are being made by the Police to take appropriate action in accordance with law. The State counsel has also pointed out that Nandanjit Kaur has not been impleaded as respondent by the petitioner. In fact, Nandanjit Kaur has filed an application (Crl. Misc. No.63504 of 2011) for being impleaded as a party. Counsel appearing for applicant-Nandanjit Kaur has pressed this prayer for being impleaded as a party. There may not now be any need to consider the prayer made in the application for impleadment as the petition is being disposed of. It can be observed that the police has constituted a SIT to investigate the case and the investigation has progressed. The notice in this case was issued only to see if the case is being investigated in accordance with law. It would not be otherwise appropriate to make any comment which may prejudice the case of either side. If any person has a grievance against the manner of investigation or anything concerning the investigation, he or she may take action in accordance with law. There is no further need to allow this petition to continue for any direction. The petition is, accordingly, disposed of. November 22, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) monika JUDGE
