No.2013 of 2017 in Rajesh Sharma & Others Vs. State of U.P. & Another). Accordingly, the matter is referred to the committee supra.

Having regard to the above and as per the directions of the Apex Court, the Criminal Petition is disposed of while directing the Investigation Officer to investigate, but not to arrest the petitioner unless report of the Committee on its constitution is received, however this does not prevent the securing for interrogation as part of investigation.

Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. _____________________________________ JUSTICE Dr. B.SIVA SANKARA RAO Date: 05.10.2017 vvr
