In the light of the order passed by the Division Bench of this Court, we issue Rule making it returnable forthwith and with the consent of the counsel, hear it finally at this stage. 3. This petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India prays for issuance of a writ transferring the matter to any Specialized Investigating Agency i.e Crime Branch or Economic Offences Wing and also prays for directing the Investigating Officer to speed up the process of investigation as the petitioner is weak and is aged about 73 years of age. 4. According to us, the order dated 18th February 2011 takes care of both the reliefs. This Court has directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police to supervise the investigation and virtually to submit periodical reports. This Court has also expressed hope and trust that the Deputy Commissioner of Police would expeditiously conclude the investigation. The learned APP states on instructions that the Deputy Commissioner of Police is supervising the investigation and would shortly conclude the investigation and take some steps. According to us, no further orders are required to be passed in this petition and therefore, the Rule is made absolute on the 2 7. wp 408-11.doc above terms with no order as to costs. [ M.N.
