NIRMALJIT KAUR, J.(Oral) The present petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for issuance of direction to respondents No.1 to 4 to hand over the investigation to CBI or some other agency higher officials and to take action against the private respondents in FIR No.113 dated 20.6.2010 under Section 302 IPC Police Station Ladwa, District Kurukshetra. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State has pointed out that after investigation conducted by an Inspector of Crime Branch duly supervised by the DIG, the challan has been filed against one Jai Parkash. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the allegations in the present case are that the son of the petitioner was killed by the father of the girl alongwith other family members as his son was found in a compromising position. It is further contended CRM M-27364 of 2010 -2- that the father Jai Parkash in order to save other family members has taken the entire blame upon himself. As per the Statement of said Jai Parkash, he has inflicted only two injuries on the body of the deceased. However, as per the post mortem report, there were as many as 17 injures. The said 17 injuries indicate that there were other persons with father Jai Parkash. As such, the challan has been filed in a hurry and without conducting proper investigation. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that earlier the investigation was done only by the Inspector of Crime Branch duly supervised by the DIG and he will be satisfied if the investigation is conducted by the senior officer. In view of the above, the present petition is disposed of with a direction that the further investigation may be conducted by an officer not below the rank of DSP of the same Branch to be supervised by the DIG. The further investigation shall be completed within 2 months from the receipt of this order and the final report shall be submitted before the trial Court thereafter. However, the said order does not mean that the final report has to be submitted in a particular way. The said order with respect to the further investigation has been passed only to ascertain the truth qua involvement of other persons. A copy of this order be given dasti to the learned State counsel. 10.5.2011 ( NIRMALJIT KAUR ) rajeev JUDGE
