Court denies change in investigating authority, closes mandamus petitions for expedited investigation, finding thorough inquiry.
The court dismissed the request for a change in the investigating authority and closed both writ petitions seeking mandamus for expeditious investigation in a crime. The court found the investigation to be thorough and without irregularities, rendering further intervention unnecessary.
Issues involved: Writ petitions seeking a mandamus for expeditious investigation in a crime, and a prayer for investigation to be entrusted to a specific respondent.
Analysis: 1. The writ petitioner in W.P.(C) No.10544/2014 is the complainant in a crime under investigation by the CBCID, while the writ petitioner in W.P.(C) No. 19484/2014 is the 6th respondent in the former petition, being one of the accused in the same crime. Both seek a writ of mandamus for expeditious investigation, with an additional prayer in W.P.(C) No. 10544/2014 for the investigation to be entrusted to the 5th respondent.
2. The investigating officer has reported that the investigation is practically complete, with the facts already submitted to the authority awaiting sanction for the final report. The court notes that the investigation has been conducted thoroughly without any irregularities or flaws. Consequently, the primary prayer for expeditious investigation is deemed unnecessary once the investigation is complete, rendering the second prayer for investigation by another entity redundant.
3. Upon reviewing the investigating officer's report, the court finds no justification to grant the second prayer made in W.P.(C) No. 10544/2014 for the investigation to be conducted by a different entity. Consequently, both writ petitions are closed as the investigation has been carried out satisfactorily, and there is no need for further intervention.
In conclusion, the court dismisses the request for a change in the investigating authority and closes both writ petitions, as the investigation has been conducted diligently without any irregularities.
