ORDER

M.S.RAMESH, J.

AND SUNDER MOHAN, J.

When the petitioner's brother, namely V.Parthasarathy, aged about 38 years, had gone missing, she had given a complaint on 05.03.2024 before the first respondent and the same was registered in Crime No.195 of 2024. Since no steps were taken by the respondent police to trace his brother, the petitioner has filed the present Habeas Corpus Petition.

2. Today, when the matter was called, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted that an FIR was registered in Crime No.195/2024 on 05.03.2024 as 'man missing' and that the first respondent is conducting the investigation to locate the petitioner's brother.

3. Since an FIR had already been registered and the respondents are in the process of investigating the same, we deem it fit that the first respondent could be directed to expedite the investigation and file a final report.

4. In view of this decision, the prayer sought for in the present Habeas Corpus Petition does not require consideration. Accordingly, there shall be a direction to the first respondent herein, to expedite the investigation in Crime No.195/2024 and file a final report, as expeditiously as possible.

5. With the above direction, the Habeas Corpus Petition stands closed. [M.S.R., J] [S.M., J] 03.04.2024 Index: Yes/No Tsg To 1.The Inspector of Police, T-4, Maduravoil Police Station, Chennai - 600 095.
