ORDER

(Order of this Court was made by M.S.RAMESH.J,) When the petitioner's wife and son went missing from 12.03.2025, he had given a complaint on 13.03.2025 to the second respondent police, which was registered in Crime No.90 of 2025 dated 13.03.2025 under the caption "women and boy missing". Since there was no progress in the investigation to trace the petitioner's wife and son, the present Habeas Corpus Petition has been filed.

2. Today, when the matter was called, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted that the complaint preferred by the petitioner has been registered in Crime No.90 of 2025 as 'women and boy missing' and that the second respondent police is conducting the investigation to locate the petitioner's wife and son.

3. Since the second respondent had registered the petitioner's complaint and are in the process of investigating, we deem it fit that the second 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 second respondent herein to expedite the investigation in Crime No.90 of 2025 and file a final report as expeditiously as possible.
