Apropos the order dated 22.8.2011, statement of the petitioner has been duly recorded by the concerned ACP. The said ACP is present in Court. Learned APP, on his instructions, states that statement of the petitioner, as recorded, discloses commission of cognizable offence. For that reason, registration of FIR is imperative. He further submits that instructions will be issued to Malwani Police Station to register the FIR on the basis of the statement already recorded by the ACP and also to record additional statement of the petitioner if required. The FIR will be then transferred to the Kandivali Police Station for investigation and proceeding in the matter in accordance with law. PPD 2 5WP.2175-11 2. Assurance so given by the learned APP on instructions of the ACP who is present in Court is accepted. In this view of the matter, nothing survives for consideration in this Petition. We hope and trust that necessary steps for registration of FIR and transferring the investigation to Kandivali Police Station will be taken by the concerned police officials as expeditiously as possible and in any case not later than one week from today. 3. Petition is disposed of accordingly. All questions are left open. (P. D. KODE, J.) (A. M. KHANWILKAR, J.)
