We have heard learned counsel for the parties, perused the pleadings and documents. 6. Bare perusal of the pleadings and material available on record, it is evident that the petitioner along with other co-accused persons allegedly mutated their names in the government land and have taken loan. Thus, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, particularly considering that the investigation is still pending and the matter has to be brought to its logical end and at this stage, it cannot be said that no offence is disclosed, hence, the Investigating Officer is directed to conclude the investigation within a period of four weeks and if the petitioner is aggrieved by the result of the investigation, she is at liberty to take recourse to law. 7. Accordingly, the present petition is disposed of. SD/- SD/- (Bibhu Datta Guru) (Ramesh Sinha) Judge Chief Justice Amardeep
