Mr.V.B.Konde-deshmukh APP for the respondent/State. ---- CORAM : A.M.KHANWILKAR & P.D.KODE, JJ DATE : 10th October, 2011 PC 1 The relief claimed in this petition is to transfer the investigation of CR No.I-162 of 2011 from the Central police station, Ulhasnagar to independent investigating agency such as Crime Investigation Department. Learned APP on instructions, submits that pursuant to the complaint made by the petitioner, the Commissioner of Police instituted inquiry against the local police officer. After preliminary inquiry, the investigation has been transferred and entrusted to Shri Rajendra Avhad, Police inspector (crime) attached to Central police station, Ulhasnagar, sometime in 2 wp2954.11.sxw August-2011. Thereafter, the newly appointed IO has not only recorded the supplementary statement but also statements of ten persons. Besides, even test identification parade was held. In other words, all possible measures are being taken by the newly appointed Investigating officer. The apprehension of the petitioner that her supplementary statement is not being recorded is mis- placed in as much as the original file produced before us includes supplementary statement of the petitioner recorded on 7.9.2011. The other grievance of the petitioner that the statement of person who forcibly entered the room no.202 on the date of incident is also not recorded. Even this grievance is in-correct in as much as statement of that person i.e Lokesh Ramesh Naik has been recorded on 25.8.2011. In view of the above, we do not find merits in the petition. The same is disposed of with the hope that investigating officer will take the investigation to its logical end and file appropriate report in the concerned court expeditiously.
