This Criminal Original Petition has been filed seeking a direction to direct the second respondent police to file final report in Crime No.327 of 2014, which registered on 15.09.2014, on the file of the respondent and ensure proper investigation known to law.

2. By consent of both sides, this Criminal Original Petition is taken up for disposal.

4. Considering the facts and circumstance of the case, this Court directs the respondent police to complete the investigation in Crime No.327 of 2014, pending on his file and file a final report within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. This Criminal Original Petition is disposed of accordingly.
