ORDER

(Order of the Court was made by M.S.RAMESH,J.) When the petitioner's father, namely, Nallasundan, aged about 82 years went missing from 20.01.2022, he had given a complaint on 22.03.2023 before the respondent police. Since there was no much progress in the investigation, he had chosen to file the present Habeas Corpus Petition.

2.Today, when the matter was called, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondents submitted that the petitioner had given a complaint on 26.05.2023, which has been registered in Crime No.303/2023 as 'Man Missing' and that the 2nd respondent police are conducting the investigation to locate the petitioner's father.

3.Since the 2nd respondent had registered the petitioner's complaint and are in the process of investigation, we deem it fit that the 2nd respondent be directed to expedite the investigation and file a final report. 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 2nd respondent to expedite the investigation in Crime No.303/2023 and file a final report as expeditiously as possible. 5.With the above direction, the Habeas Corpus Petition stands closed.
