TOWN, MUZAFFARPUR ----------- 2 15.12.2010 Heard learned counsels for the petitioner and the State. The prayer of the petitioner is for directing the Investigating Officer of Town P.S. Case No. 179 of 2009 registered under sections 498A, 304B, 120B of the Indian Penal Code and sections 3 & 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act to conclude the investigation and arrest the respondent nos. 4 to 10. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the police is not properly investigating the case and the petitioner is receiving threats from the accused persons. Learned counsel for the State submits that the alleged offence was committed at Muzaffarpur whereas the complaint in question, which was in turn registered as Town P.S. Case No. 179 of 2009, was registered at Motihari and now the prosecution has taken steps for transfer of the aforesaid case from the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Motihari to the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Muzaffarpur, and as such, the case is to be investigated by the Investigating Officer at Muzaffarpur. As such, the allegation of the petitioner that no steps are being taken is not correct. Considering the submissions of the parties, I am not inclined to interfere in the matter for the present and the writ application accordingly stands disposed of. Manish/- ( Shailesh Kumar Sinha,J.)
