Advocate Hon'ble Shri Ramesh Sinha, Chief Justice Hon'ble Shri Bibhu Datta Guru , Judge Order on Board Per Ramesh Sinha , Chief Justice 24 / 09 / 202 5 1. Heard Mr. Shikhar Bakhtiyar, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr. S.S. Baghel, learned Deputy Government Advocate, appering for the State/respondent. 2. The present MCC has been filed by the applicant under Section 151 of the CPC, seeking modification in the order dated 08.09.2025 passed by this Court in WPCR No. 490 of 2025, on the ground that while disposing of the said writ petition, this Court was pleased to direct the police authorities to conclude the investigation within 3 weeks subject to full co-operation of the ROHIT KUMAR CHANDRA Digitally signed by ROHIT KUMAR CHANDRA 2 applicant and during the course of hearing, this Court was considerate to grant interim protection to the applicant, however, by inadvertence and bona fide typographical omission, the said protective direction has not been incorporated in the final order, thereby causing grave prejudice to the applicant. 3. Perused the order seeking modification. 4. From perusal of the order seeking modification, it transpires that while disposing of the said writ petition by order dated 08.09.2025, this Court had directed the police authorities to conclude the investigation within 3 weeks subject to full co-operation of the petitioner, however, no interim protection has been granted in favour of the petitioner, which appears to be bona fide typographical mistake. 5. In that view of the matter, the instant MCC stands allowed. 6. Paragraph 8 of the order dated 08.09.2025 passed in WPCR No. 490 of 2025 is modified to the extent indicated hereinbelow : “8. Nevertheless, it cannot be lost sight of that the proceedings are lingering for a considerable period of time. Therefore, in the interest of justice and to ensure that the matter reaches its logical end without unnecessary delay, while disposing of the present writ petition, we direct the concerned Superintendent of Police/Senior Superintendent of Police, Balod, to ensure that the investigation of the present case is concluded expeditiously preferably within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy 3 of this order, if already not concluded and submit a Police Report under Section 173(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (now under Section 193(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023) before the competent Court in accordance with law. Till then, no coercive steps shall be taken against the petitioner. If the petitioner is aggrieved by the result of the investigation, he shall be at liberty to take recourse to law as available to her.” 7. However, considering the fact that aforesaid 3 weeks time granted earlier has already been passed and Police Report has not been submitted till date, further two weeks’ time is granted to submit the same and till then, no coercive steps shall be taken against the petitioner.
