O R D E R

This petition has been filed seeking to call for the records in Cr.No.53 of 2010 on the file of the Inspector of Police, District Crime Branch, Tiruvallur and quash the same. 2.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners have already paid the entire dues to the defacto complainant in respect of the work done by him and the dispute between the petitioners and defacto complainant was settled during the year 2010 itself. Therefore, the petitioners have not committed any offences as alleged in the FIR. 3.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners would further submit that, it would suffice, if this Court permits the petitioners to furnish the particulars before the law enforcing agency to prove their innocence and issue direction to the law enforcing agency to complete the investigation within a time frame.

4.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor concedes to the request made by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and on instructions, he would further submit that the investigation will be completed within the time frame fixed by this Court.

5.Considering the limited request made by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, this Court without going into the merits of the case, is inclined to issue direction to the law enforcing agency to complete the investigation in Crime No.53 of 2010, after giving opportunity to the petitioners, within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The petitioners are directed to co-operate with the law enforcing agency for early completion of the investigation.

6.This criminal original petition is disposed of. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is also closed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar mbi
