This petition has been filed seeking direction to the second respondent to file a final report in Crime No.32 of 2020 on the file of the second respondent Police.

2.Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondent Police. 3.Whenever any information in relation to commission of cognizable or non-cognizable offence is received, the police officer shall adhere to the procedure contemplated under Sections 154 & 155 of the Criminal Procedure Code and after conducting necessary enquiry/investigation, file final report under Section 173 of Cr.P.C.
