Complainant. FIR was consequently registered.

¶29

Though the Complainant in his complaint had alleged that the offences of robbery and dacoity had also been committed, but the IO on going through the contents, found prima facie case for the offences on which the IO after considering the contents of the Complaint, instead of Section 452 has mentioned Section 453 IPC, Section 120B and Section 380 of IPC have been added, the FIR has been registered under Section 380 aside from Section 420/406/453/120B/506/380/34 IPC.

¶30

Merely because an FIR has been registered on the Complaint under certain Sections, does not imply that the investigation would be limited only to those offences. The investigations are always carried out on the Complaint and it is after the complete investigation that the Chargesheet is filed under the offences which are finally established on investigations. The Complaint made by the Complainant/Petitioner herein is already a part of the FIR. What offences are made out is to be concluded in the Chargesheet and further a subject matter for consideration of the learned Trial Court before whom the Chargesheet gets filed.

¶31

No chargesheet has been filed in this case till date and the matter is still under investigations.

¶32

There is no merit in the present Petition which is hereby disposed of with the directions. 15. The investigations be concluded efficaciously and the chargesheet be filed within a reasonable time.
