O RDER

¶20

This criminal original petition has been filed challenging the final report filed by the respondent in C.C.No.153 of 2021 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate Court, Rajapalayam.

¶21

2.Seeking reinvestigation or further investigation as the case may be, this petition has been filed on the ground that Section 307 IPC has not been included, even after lapse of two years of presentation of the final report. So far no progress has been made. Report has been called for from the trial Court in this regard. The report reads that the case was taken cognizance in C.C.No.153 of 2021 and posted for appearance of accused. After prolonged adjournment, now it is posted for framing of charges on 02.12.2023.

¶22

3.The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) would submit that it is case in counter case. In the counter case, the trial has already over and it was posted for 313 Cr.P.C questioning.
