Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation. However, taking into consideration the fact that the case is arising out of family disputes, the second respondent is directed to complete the investigation without arresting the petitioners and file final report, if any, in accordance with law. The petitioners are also directed to appear before the second respondent and execute a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) each with one surety each for their future appearance.

The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any shall also stand disposed of. _____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 19.10.2016 pln
