ORDER

This Criminal Original Petition has been filed to direct the first respondent to transfer the investigation of the case in Crime No.50 of 2021 on the file of the second respondent police to any other police officer.

2. It is the grievance of the petitioner that based on the complaint of the petitioner, the second respondent police had registered a case in Crime No.50 of 2021 for the offences under Sections 420, 294(b), 506(2) of IPC on 28.12.2021. Thereafter, as of now there is no progress in that case. It is the further grievance of the petitioner that till date the accused were not secured and neither recovery was made nor enquiry was conducted. Hence, he seeks to transfer the case to some other investigating agency.

3. Mr.A.Gokulakrishnan, learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit that it is case of forgery and cheating of petitioner's money to the tune of Rs.56,00,000/-. He would further submit that the respondents police are conducting the investigation in a fair manner. Hence, there is no ground for transfer of investigation.
