P.C.: This petition has been filed for quashing certain FIR registered against the petitioners on the orders passed by the learned Magistrate under Section 156(3) of the Criminal Procedure Code. One of the reliefs claimed is that since four cases have been registered against the petitioner and the nature of allegations is same in all the four FIRs, it may be directed that all cases be investigated by a single officer. 2. We feel this is a just request and after hearing the learned Counsel appearing for respondent Nos.2 to 5 and also the learned Public 2 Prosecutor, we dispose of the petition directing the Commissioner of Police, Thane, to appoint a single Officer to investigate all the four cases registered against the petitioners as mentioned in the petition. 3. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. Sd/- (BILAL NAZKI, J.) Sd/- (A. R. JOSHI, J.)
