If it was to come to an end, the legislation would have contemplated it.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIn the absence of any clear stipulation, in our view, an interpretation that with the expiry of the period, the mandate in favour of SFIO must come to an end, will cause great violence to the scheme of legislation. If such interpretation is accepted, with the transfer of investigation in terms of sub Section (2) of Section 212 the original Investigating Agencies would be denuded of power to investigate and with the expiry of mandate SFIO would also be powerless which would lead to an incongruous situation that serious frauds would remain beyond investigation. That could never have been the idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court hence concluded that the only construction which was, possible therefore, was that the prescription of period within which a report has to be submitted to the Central Government under sub-Section (3) of Section 212 is purely directory. It added:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cEven after the expiry of such stipulated period, the mandate in favour of the SFIO and the assignment of investigation under sub-Section (1) would not come to an end. The only logical end as contemplated is after completion of investigation when a final report or \u201cinvestigation report\u201d is submitted in terms of sub-Section (12) of Section 212.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Sapre, J<\/span> in his concurrent opinion said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIf the submission of the learned counsel for the respondents (writ petitioners) that the compliance of sub-section (3) of Section 212 of the Act in relation to the submission of the report be held mandatory is accepted (which I am afraid, I cannot accept) in our view, the very purpose of enacting Section 212 of the Act would get defeated and will become nugatory.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[Serious Fraud Investigation Office v.
