Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that either the police is favouring the accused or is deliberately not concluding the investigation. He prays for issuance of a direction to the police authorities to investigate the matter fairly and impartially.
State counsel submits that the police authorities are under the obligation to do the investigation fairly and expeditiously and if the investigation has already not been completed, the same would be done within time frame.
