However, by the same order, it was clarified that there was no stay on the investigation and that the Bench expected the Investigating Agency to conclude the investigation within a period of two months.
In view of the aforesaid direction of this Court, charge-sheet appears to have been filed whereupon cognizance was taken. However, a Bench of this Court vide order dated 16.01.2017 directed for this case to be tagged along with Criminal Miscellaneous No. 41773 of 2016, in which the order of cognizance has been challenged. Thus, today there is no justification for keeping the present petition pending as it has become infructuous. This petition stands dismissed as having become infructuous.
