This is an application seeking quashing of the Vigilance P.S. Case No. 41 of 2016 dated 08.04.2016 instituted for the offence under Sections 420, 409, 467, 468, 471 and 120 (B) of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 13(1), (C)(D) of the Prevention of Corruption Act.

Considering that the case is of the year 2016,

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.28960 of 2016(6) dt.15-10-2020 2/2 this Court had called for a report about the stage of the case on 15.09.2020. The report has been received, which is kept at flag -'G'.

The report indicates that the case record is presently running at the stage of awaiting of the final form. It appears that the investigation is almost at the completion and, therefore, no useful purpose would be served in interfering with the process of investigation. The investigation ought to be completed expeditiously and if it has not yet been completed, it must be completed within a period of four months from today. In case the petitioner is charge-sheeted and cognizance is taken against him, he would have the liberty to approach the appropriate forum for challenging the order of cognizance.

The petition stands disposed of with the aforesaid observation.
