1. Heard Sri Dilip Kumar Pandey, learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri Vinod Kumar Yadav, learned Additional Government Advocate for the State and Sri Pankaj Kumar Singh, learned counsel, who has filed Vakalatnama on behalf of the opposite party Nos.5 & 6, the same is taken on record. 2. In view of the order proposed to be passed, the notice to opposite party No.4 is hereby dispensed with. 3. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for the following relief:-
"(i) to issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding and directing the opposite parties to ensure free, fair and transparent investigation of the Case Crime No.0319 of 2025, under Sections 191(2), 103(1), 238(a) and 3(5) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, Police Station-Kotwali Dehat, District-Gonda, within a period stipulated by this Hon'ble High Court."
4. Learned Additional Government Advocate, on the basis of specific instructions, has informed that the Investigating Officer is conducting investigation strictly in accordance with law by following the procedure so prescribed and two accused persons, namely, Mukesh and Jakir 2 Jamshed Alam have been arrested and for arresting the other accused persons the Investigating Officer is taking appropriate steps which are permissible under law. 5. Sri Pankaj Kumar Singh, learned counsel for the opposite party Nos.5 & 6 has stated that the impugned F.I.R. is an outcome of malafide intention arising on account of village politics/ rivalry. 6. Since the opposite party Nos.5 & 6 have not challenged the F.I.R. and the petitioner, who is the complainant of the F.I.R., has sought the aforesaid relief, therefore, this writ petition is being decided finally at the admission stage considering the submission of learned Additional Government Advocate that the Investigating Officer is conducting the investigation properly strictly in accordance with law by following due procedure of law and the said investigation would be concluded with expedition. 7.
In view of the above, we do not find any good reason to keep this petition pending any longer, therefore, this writ petition is
disposed of finally at the admission stage having expectation from the Investigating Officer to conduct and conclude the investigation, strictly in accordance with law and also by following due procedure of law, and after completion thereof the police report would be filed.
8. Accordingly, the instant writ petition is disposed of finally. [Syed Qamar Hasan Rizvi,J.] [Rajesh Singh Chauhan,J.]
