ORDER

¶20

This petition has been filed for transfer of investigation in Crime No.173 of 2022, from the file of the second respondent to some other investigation agency.

¶21

On instructions, the learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) appearing for the respondents submitted that on the complaint received from the petitioner, the second respondent registered FIR in Crime No.173 of 2022 for the offences punishable under Sections 420, 465, 468, 471 & 109 of IPC, as against three accused persons. Now the entire investigation is almost completed and yet to file final report.

¶22

Considering the above submissions, at this stage, if the investigation transferred to some other agency, it would affect the investigation done by the second respondent. Therefore, the second respondent is directed to complete the investigation and file final report before the jurisdictional Court, within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Order.
