It is sufficient to mention here that further investigation by itself cannot be a reason for staying the trial. Strictly speaking further investigation in any case can continue even after filing of the chargesheet. In the present case, if some evidence is found against the applicant after further investigation, the respondent will file supplementary chargesheet and additional evidence can be recorded. Continuance of trial for the time being will not in any manner prejudice the applicant. The application is rejected accordingly.
