the Court of learned ACJM, Jamshedpur, and also for a direction upon the respondents
to investigate the matter and thereby to take appropriate action against respondent
Nos. 7 to 14.
3. Counsel for the petitioner submits that through the petitioner has filed a
complaint, which was sent under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C to register the FIR, but the
police is not investigating the case. He submits that the police is taking the side of the
accused persons. He submits that suffice it would be if a direction is given to the

submit a report before the Court concerned. The Supervising Authority will also

direct the I.O either to arrest or not to arrest the accused. The same will depend upon
the facts of this case and the situation which necessitate the arrest of the accused.
