The petition is filed seeking transfer of investigation in connection with F.I.R. 330 of 2016 from Amboli Police Station to any other Investigating Agency, including Crime Branch/CID. 3.

The main grievance of the Petitioner is that, though the FIR also discloses serious offence under Sections 447, 397 of the Indian Penal Code, the same was registered only under Sections 143, 145, 147, 149, 448, 323, 504 and 506 of IPC.
