The petitioner filed an FIR being Daspur Police Station Case No.271 of 2023 dated 09.05.2023 under Sections 341, 323, 307, 354B, 379, 506 and 34 of the Penal Code read with Section 3(1)(r)(s) of SC/ST (POA) Act, 1989.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the private respondents submits as follows. The private respondents are working at other places. At the relevant point of time they were not present at the place of occurrence.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State relies on the report and submits as follows. Investigation is going on in respect of the criminal case instituted by the petitioner. There

is a civil suit pending between the private parties over a property. However, all steps are being taken to investigate the offences like issuing notices under Sections 91 and 41A of the Code and examining witnesses. A report in final form shall soon be filed in this regard.

It appears that the Investigating Agency has taken steps in investigating the offences.

Let the Investigation be concluded expeditiously and in accordance with law.

No interference with the investigation is warranted at this stage.

However, the police authorities shall keep a sharp vigil at the locale so that no breach of peace takes place. With these observations, the writ petition is disposed of. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order may be supplied to the parties expeditiously, if applied for. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
