It is now reported that, though late, a crime has been registered as Crime No.18 of 2007 and investigation is in progress. The major grievance of the petitioner is now redressed by the action of the respondents after the filing of the petition. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though a crime has been registered no effective investigation is being conducted. The accused has not been arrested. 3. The learned Prosecutor submits that while it is true that the accused has not been arrested, the inability to arrest the accused is not on account of any insufficient conduct on the part of the investigator. The accused is absconding and inspite of the best efforts of the police they are not able to arrest the accused. W.P.C.No. 295 of 2007 2 4. The learned counsel counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is willing to offer assistance to the police to lead them to arrest the accused. The learned Public Prosecutor submits that such assistance is most welcome and the petitioner can point out the police the presence or availability of the accused. The petitioner can do the needful. 5. Having been satisfied that the needful is being done, I am satisfied that no further directions are necessary in this writ petition. 6. This writ petition is hence dismissed with the above observations. (R. BASANT) Judge tm
