BASANT,J
The petitioner in this writ petition complains of the mysterious disappearance of his son, a first year B.Tech student aged 19 years with effect from 07/05/2009, on which date, there was a call to observe a Harthal. He had left his house in a motor cycle and has not been heard of thereafter. The motor cycle or the son of the petitioner have not been traced so far. The petitioner apprehends that some anti social elements may have detained the petitioner's son though he is unable to narrate any specific reasons for such conduct of any person. By order dated 15/5/2009, respondents 4 and 5 were directed to help the police to trace the missing person by furnishing details of the calls made by him from two cell phones, which he was having at the relevant time. It is submitted that the requisite information has already been furnished and the 3rd respondent is in possession of such information. Third respondent prays for further time to verify details and make detailed submissions.

court. More than 15 days have elapsed and no specific clue is gathered so far. We do, in these circumstances, feel that specific directions must be issued to the 2nd respondent to oversee and monitor the investigation personally and produce tangible results by the next date of posting.
Call on 08/06/2009.
