In any view of the matter, an investigation of a case should not be allowed to remain pending for so many years. In the event of the investigation not having been concluded, this Court directs that the same may be concluded within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
The order shall be implemented only if the investigation has remained pending till date.
If a report has been submitted and the matter has travelled to the Court of law, the petitioner would have the liberty to take recourse of the judicial remedies. With the aforesaid observation, the petition stands disposed off.
