This petition has been filed by the petitioner to direct the respondent police to conduct proper investigation in crime No.8 of 2019 on the file of the respondent police and for expediting investigation.

2.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. Such investigation under Chapter XII of the Criminal Procedure Code shall be completed without any unnecessary delay.
