Judgment:
W.P.No.5482/2012 4.7.2012 Shri Amit Patel, counsel for petitioner.
Shri Vijay Pandey, Dy.A.G., for respondent nos.1 to 3.
It is submitted by Shri Pandey that today he has filed progress report, but copy of it has not been served upon the petitioner.
A copy of the progress report be served upon the counsel for petitioner.
From the perusal of report dated 15.5.2012, we find that the father of petitioner had intimated to the Police that Ku.Jyoti Kahar contacted to him by a cell phone and the aforesaid cell phone was found to be of maternal uncle of Umesh Pillai of Indore.
In spite the aforesaid information, it appears that the Police has not made serious efforts to trace out Ku.Jyoti Kahar.
Thereafter, certain efforts have been made since 7.6.2012 onwards, but it appears to be simply an eye wash and no effective steps were taken by the Police to trace out Ku.Jyoti Kahar.
In view of aforesaid, we direct the Superintendent of Police, Jabalpur to look into the matter and to make all efforts for the production of corpus of Ku.Jyoti Kahar before this Court on or before the next date of hearing.
For this purpose, we direct that this case be listed for hearing on 24.7.2012.
In case Ku.Jyoti Kahar could not be traced out or produced before this Court, the Superintendent of Police, Jabalpur himself shall file an affidavit in respect of the action taken by the Police for the production of Ku.Jyoti Kahar, before this Court.
