Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home. With their consent, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission itself.

Having regard to the facts in issue and since the crime is registered in the month of August, 2016, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents-Police to complete investigation and file a final report in crime No.225 of 2016, as early as possible, preferably within a period of three to six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

Miscellaneous petitions pending in this writ petition, if any, shall stand closed. No costs.
