It is the case of the petitioner that he is implicated falsely due to ill-feelings between the petitioner and 3rd respondent.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the 2nd respondent is directed to complete the investigation in Crime No.61 of 2016 without arresting the petitioner and file a final report, if any, in accordance with law. The petitioner is directed to appear before the 2nd respondent-police as and when required during the course of investigation.

Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. Pending Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, shall stand closed. _________________ RAJA ELANGO,J 08.12.2016.
