ORDER B.N. Agrawal, P.P. Naolekar and H.S. Bedi, JJ. - Heard the learned counsel for the parties. 2. The Trial Court acquitted the respondents of the charges under Sections 147, 148, 149, 307/149, 353, 323, 336 and 325 of the Indian Penal Code [for short, the I.P.C.'] apart from Section 25 of the Arms Act. Against the order of acquittal, the State filed an application before the High Court for grant of leave to appeal, which has been refused by the impugned order and thereafter the Court passed the following order: "In our opinion, it is a case where a case should be registered against the police men and a through investigation by the C.B.C.I.D. be conducted. We direct the Special Secretary (Home) and the D.G.P. to order registration of the case against the concerned policemen and investigation of this case be entrusted to the C.B.C.I.D. and a progress report be submitted regularly every month from the date investigation commences to this Court. The registration of the case and the investigation be undertaken within a month from the date the learned A.G.A. provide the D.G.P. and the Special Secretary, Home, a copy of this judgment. If from the side of the villagers any report was registered at the police station that would also constitute a part of this investigation even if a final report is submitted in this case." 3. Against the impugned direction, the present appeal has been filed. 4. While issuing notice on 29th April, 2005, this Court directed that the investigation as aforesaid directed by the High Court shall continue and the report shall be submitted to this Court. The C.B.C.I.D. has submitted an interim report before this Court, in which a finding has been recorded that the police encounter cannot be said to be a fake one. In view of this report and the facts and circumstances of the case, we are of the view that the High Court was not justified in giving the aforesaid direction. 5. Accordingly, the appeal is allowed and the aforesaid direction as quoted above given by the High Court is hereby quashed.
