So far as the other contention is concerned, the non-filing of chargesheet pending for nearly two years by itself is not a ground to quash the

proceedings but for to urge after filing if at all aggrieved with part-II material with a direction to police to complete investigation and file chargesheet or otherwise, as the case may be, within two months from the date of receipt of the order. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this Criminal Petition, shall stand closed.
