Even if certain questions have not been answered to the satisfaction of the investigating officer, then the petitioner can be directed to further join the investigation.

After hearing learned counsel for the parties and perusing the material available on record, the present petition is allowed. The interim directions issued vide order dated 6.10.2015, are made absolute. The petitioner shall continue to join the investigation as and when required to do so and abide by all the conditions laid down under Section 438(2), Cr.PC.
