ORDER:
·
This writ petition is filed by the petitioners seeking a Writof Mandamus to declare the inaction of the 1[st] respondent innot conducting enquiry against respondents 2 to 4 in CrimeNo.158 of 2009, as illegal and arbitrary.
·
22. According to the petitioners, they lodged a complaintwith the 1[st] respondent against respondents 2 to 4 herein on08.04.2008. On the basis of the complaint, the 1[st]respondent registered a case in Crime No.158 of 2008against respondents 2 to 4 for the offences under Sections465, 468, 471. 420, 447, 506, 188 r/w 120B IPC. Thoughthe crime was registered on 08.04.2008, the 1[st] respondenthas not started investigation into it, so far. Being aggrievedby the same, he approached this Court and filed the presentwrit petition.
·
3. Heard both the learned counsel.
·
44. When once a crime is registered, the police are dutybound to investigate into it and submit a final report before acompetent criminal court. As seen from the FIR, it is clearthat it is more than one and half year since the date ofregistration of the crime i.e. 08.04.2008. In the light of thesame and as it is the grievance of the petitioners that there isno progress in the investigation of the crime, this court is ofthe view that this writ petition can be disposed of with adirection to the 1[st] respondent to complete the investigation.
·
55. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of directingthe 1[st] respondent to complete the investigation and file afinal report, as provided for under Section 173 Cr.P.C. before a competent criminal court, preferably, within a period ofthree (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of thisorder.
