No.24110 of 2021.

2. Heard the learned Government Advocate for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondent.

3. By virtue of an earlier order of this Court dated 08.06.2022, a direction has been given to the petitioner to conclude the investigation within a period of three months. Since investigation has not been completed within a stipulated time, the present petition has been filed seeking extension of time to complete the investigation.

No.02 of 2021 on the file of the petitioner is further extended to a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 03.01.2023 bkn https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
