Life convict when released from the prison is alleged to have indulged in three offences. Prayer of the prisoner is to complete the investigation into these three offences at the earliest so that his leave benefits can be restored. 2.

Learned APP has pointed out that in one matter under section 379 IPC, chargesheet has been filed. In other two cases, custody of the prisoner is required by the Investigating Officer as the motor cycle and some other articles are yet to be recovered. He submits that the necessary permission has been sought from the Government and it is still pending.
