Ms M.M. Deshmukh, A.P.P. for the State. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE & A.R.JOSHI, JJ. DATED : 17TH MARCH, 2010 P.C. :- 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. By this writ petition the petitioner is seeking direction to respondent Nos.1 to 3 to take necessary steps forthwith to arrest accused Nos. 1 and 2 (i.e., respondent Nos. 4 and 5 in the petition ) in C.R.No.124/2004 registered 2 with Akluj Police Station, taluka Malshiras, District Sholapur. The petitioner has also prayed for direction to respondent Nos.1 to 3 to transfer the investigation to the State C.I.D. 3. We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. The State has filed reply affidavit stating therein that in connection with C.R.No.124/2004, so far they have arrested three accused and Respondent No. 4 and 5 are shown absconding. They have further stated in the affidavit that they will continue to make efforts to arrest these two accused. It further appears that the police have already completed investigation and filed charge-sheet showing Respondent Nos.4 and 5 as absconding. From perusal of the reply affidavit, we are satisfied that the police have done their best in investigating the crime and we do not find any ground worth considering for transferring the investigation to the State C.I.D. Hence the writ petition is disposed of. However, we 3 observe that the police shall continue their efforts to arrest the absconding accused. (A.R.JOSHI,J.) (D.B.BHOSALE,J.)
