This Criminal Original Petition has been filed seeking direction to the respondent police to complete the investigation pending in Cr.No.18 of 2023 on the file of the respondent and file a final report within the time that may be stipulated by this Court.

2. It is the case of the petitioner that the petitioner is the managing/founding trustee of "Hare Krishna Seva Trust". The accused accused persons namely Jayabal, Vengatesan, Venkataraman, Subramaniyan, Vignesh, Eagambaram, Subramani and Kodeeswaran had conspired together and created the documents to show that the petitioner is removed from managing trusteeship of "Hare Krishna Seva Trust" by impersonation and forging documents for which, the FIR was registered on 21.04.2023 in Cr.No.18 of 2023 on the file of the respondent police. However, till date, the investigation has not been completed and no final report has been filed by the respondent police. Hence, the present Criminal Original Petition has been filed.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that subsequent to the registration of FIR, till date, the respondent police have not taken any effective steps to complete the investigation. Hence, this Court may issue a direction to the respondent police to complete the investigation and file a final report within the time that may be stipulated by this Court.

4. On the above contention, this Court heard learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondent police.

5. In view of the limited relief sought for by the petitioner, this Court is inclined to grant relief as sought for in this petition. Accordingly, the respondent police is directed to complete the investigation within a period of five weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and file a final report within the said period of time.
