Since the petitioner's father could not be traced within a reasonable time, he has filed the present Habeas Corpus Petition.

2. Today, when the matter was called, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted that the petitioner's complaint has been registered in Crime No.315 of 2025 under man missing and that the second respondent police is conducting the investigation to locate the petitioner's father.

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.315 of 2025 and file a final report as expeditiously as possible. 5.With the above direction, this Habeas Corpus Petition stands closed.
