(ORAL) 1.

The petitioner is aggrieved by the lack of fair, and, impartial investigations, being conducted into DDR No. 025 of 24.6.2021, and, which has been instituted within FIR No. 0069 of 21.6.2021, both of which are registered at Police Station Jhunir, District Mansa. 2.

The above made prayer subsists only if the investigations into the FIR (supra), and, the DDR concerned, were underway. However, if the investigations/enquiries into both, have concluded, and, have resulted in the institution of an affirmative report, under Section 173 Cr.P.C., before the learned trial Magistrate concerned, thereupon, the afore asked for relief would not survive.

3.

Since the learned State counsel, on instructions given to him, by Head Constable Gurpreet Singh, submits, that after making enquiries, and, investigations, into both FIR, and, DDR concerned, the investigating officer concerned, has instituted an affirmative report, in respect of both, before the learned trial Magistrate concerned. Consequently, the afore made relief, at GURPREET SINGH 2022.05.09 18:59 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document Chandigarh

CRM-M No. 19667 of 2022 -2this stage, is declined.

5.

The petition is disposed of.
