4) Having regard to the above, the petition is disposed of while directing investigation shall go on fairly and permitting the petitioner to file additional material, if any, before the investigating officer to form part of the investigation record.

Further remedies, if any, are left open in the event of filing charge sheet for any of the offences and any cognizance taken by the learned Magistrate.

5) With the above observations, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Consequently, the miscellaneous petitions, if any pending, shall stand closed.
