4. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor sought for one month time for completing the investigation and to file a final report.

5. Recording the submission made by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor and considering the fact that even though a special statute has been given that Investigating Officer has to investigate the matter and file a final report within a short spell of time, but the respondent police has not filed the report, I am of the view that it is a fit case for giving direction. Accordingly, the first respondent is directed to complete the investigation in Crime No.160 of 2014 and file a final report, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of copy of this order.

6. The Criminal Original Petition is disposed of with the above direction.
