WP(C) 2289/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE P.K. MUSAHARY Heard Miss. S. Gogoi, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mrs. Phuka n, learned Jr. Govt. Advocate appearing for the State respondents. No instruction has been received. The simple case of the petitioner is that he l odged an FIR dated 15.03.2011 with the officer in-charge of the Namti P.S. again st some persons who allegedly came to attack with dao and lathi and assaulted t he petitioner’s sons. The accused persons also allegedly burnt down the paddy an d mill house and cut down valuable trees. On the basis of the aforesaid FIR a cr ime being Namti P.S. Case No. 8/2011 u/s. 147/148/149/447/427/436 IPC was regist ered on 14.03.2011. From the statements made in this petition it appears that th e investigation is not progressing in the desired manner and as such prayer has been made for issuing a direction to the Officer In-charge Namti P.S. to make proper enquiry and take prompt action against the accused persons named in the FIR. Since the FIR was registered only on 15.3.2011, it is normally not expected that the investigating agency could complete the investigation in such a short perio d of time. However, the investigating agency is always expected to take proper a ction and complete the investigation in time. In view of the above, I direct tha t the respondent No. 3 the Superintendent of Police (S), Sibsagar District shall take necessary steps and supervise the investigation of the case by himself or through some officer in the rank of Circle Inspector so that the investigation is conducted in a desired manner and complete as soon as possible. With the aforesaid direction, this petition stands disposed of.
