Today, learned State Counsel supplied the instructions dated 02.07.2025 along with final report to the Court. The same is taken on record. On instructions, learned State Counsel submits that after investigation, final report has been submitted in favour of the accused named in the first information report. 6. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he was apprehending such kind of filing of the final report, therefore, in the present writ 2 petition, he has prayed for transfer of the investigation to some independent agency to conduct fair and proper investigation. 7. Having considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties, this Court is of the view that since the final report has been filed by the investigating officer, the petitioner- informant has got legal recourse to file a protest petition to the final report, once he receives notice from the learned trial court. 8. In this view of the matter, it will not be proper to transfer the investigation at this stage when the final report has been submitted. Accordingly, the present writ petition is hereby closed. 9. However, the petitioner is at liberty to seek legal recourse as available under the Code/ BNSS, 2023. (Pankaj Purohit, J.) 22.07.2025 AK
