The learned Magistrate referred the matter to the police under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. for investigation. So far, no action has been taken and the directions of the law have been disobeyed by the concerned incharge of the police officials.

Therefore, there was a delay of four months in taking appropriate action. Accordingly, the disciplinary action has been taken against the said constable and passed proceedings, dated 05-08-2005, awarding punishment of postponement of increment by two years without effect on his future increments and pension. In view of the aforesaid proceedings and in view of the fact that ﬁnal report has already been ﬁled, no orders need be passed in this writ petition. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed.
