Heard Sri Srestha Pandey, learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri A.R. Chaurasia, learned A.G.A. and perused the impugned F.I.R. as well as material brought on record.
This petition has been filed by the petitioner with a prayer that suitable direction may be issued to the respondent authorities to transfer the investigation in relation to F.I.R. dated 15.8.2018 under sections 457, 380 I.P.C., police station Khiri, District Allahabad to any other police station/agency.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the informant of the case. She lodged the present F.I.R. on 15.8.2018 but till date the investigation has not been concluded, hence she has come up before this Court by filing the present petition for transferring the investigation of the present case.
Learned A.G.A. could not dispute the aforesaid fact as argued by learned counsel for the petitioner.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the parties, we do not find any good ground to transfer the investigation of the present case to any other police station/agency, the prayer for the same is hereby refused. However, we direct the Investigating Officer of the present case to conclude the investigation of the present case and submit a police report before the Magistrate concerned expeditiously preferably within a period of three months from the date of production of a certified copy of this order in accordance with law.
The S.S.P. Allahabad. shall ensure the compliance of present order within the aforesaid period.
With the aforesaid order, the present petition stands disposed of.
