ORDER The learned Additional Government Advocate has tendered across the Bar a copy of the First Information Report registered under Section 154 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 by Vidhana Soudha Police Station on 10th August 2019 on the basis of the complaint filed by the present petitioner. Apart from the issue whether the relief claimed could be granted, the substantive prayer was for directing the respondent to register the First Information Report. The said prayer does not survive. It is obvious that the Investigating Officer is bound to carry out the investigation very promptly and efficiently in accordance with law.
