ORDER

Respondent has filed a detailed statement giving the details of investigation and the materials that have been gathered in the course of investigation. It seems that the investigation is progressing. However, having considered the fact that the crime is of the year 2014, I am inclined to direct the investigating agency to expedite the entire proceedings and to bring the proceedings to the logical conclusion at the earliest. Regarding the allegations made and the materials gathered, after hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Special Government Pleader for the Vigilance, I feel that it will be worthwhile to permit the petitioner to raise all the above contentions and to challenge the final report, if so advised. Reserving it, I am inclined to close the Crl.M.C without making any comments on the merits of materials gathered. Accordingly, Crl.M.C is closed. sd/- SUNIL THOMAS, JUDGE R.AV APPENDIX OF CRL.MC 855/2022 PETITIONER ANNEXURES: Annexure-I CERTIFIED COPY OF THE F.I.R.
