\n

Bombay High Court:<\/span> In a criminal writ petition filed by the daughter (Smita Pansare) and daughter-in-law (Dr. Megha Pansare) of Govindrao P. Pansare (‘Govind Pansare’), the deceased leader of Communist Party of India, seeking the appointment of an independent Special Investigation Team (‘SIT’) to investigate the murder of the late politician and monitoring of the said investigation by this Court, a Division Bench of A. S. Gadkari*<\/span> and Kamal Khata, JJ., held that since that the investigating agency had investigated the allegations of the family, continuous monitoring of the further investigation solely for the arrest of the two absconding accused persons by this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India was not necessary.<\/p>\n

Background<\/h3>\n

On 16-02-2015, Govind Pansare and his wife, Uma G. Pansare, were shot near their house by two unknown assailants. A First Information Report (‘FIR’) was lodged under Section 307<\/a>1<\/sup><\/a> read with Section 34<\/a>2<\/sup><\/a> of the Penal Code, 1860<\/a> (‘IPC’) and Section 3(25)<\/a> of the Arms Act, 1959<\/a> (‘Arms Act’). After Govind Pansare succumbed to his injuries on 20-02-2015, Section 302<\/a>3<\/sup><\/a> of IPC<\/a> was added to the crime. Initially, the police investigated the crime, but later, the investigation was transferred to SIT. Under the investigation conducted by SIT, 10 accused persons were arrested and two were reported as absconding.<\/p>\n

Thereafter, family of Govind Pansare sought transfer of the investigation to the Anti-Terrorism Squad (‘ATS’), Maharashtra, contending that the SIT failed to trace out the absconding accused persons who were the actual shooters and there was no major headway in the investigation.<\/p>\n

This Court, vide<\/span> order dated 03-08-2022, noted that no major headway or breakthrough was made in the investigation in the past seven years. Noting this, the Court directed the Additional Director General of Police, ATS, to constitute a team of ATS Officers and to include some of the SIT Officers who had been investigating the case.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, a team of ATS officers was constituted and the case was renumbered to be considered as a case under Sections 120(B)<\/a>4<\/sup><\/a>, 302<\/a>, 307<\/a> read with Section 34<\/a> of IPC<\/a> and Sections 3<\/a>, 25<\/a>, and 27<\/a> of the Arms Act<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thereafter, the family of Govind Pansare sought continuance of the investigation’s monitoring by the Court in the present petition, contending that such monitoring was necessary for the arrest of the two absconding accused persons, as the investigation was properly conducted only after this Court began to monitor it. They also contended that it was a case of extraordinary nature and monitoring of investigation needed to be continued.<\/p>\n

Analysis and Decision<\/h3>\n

Upon perusal of the record and the confidential report submitted by the Superintendent of Police, ATS, the Court stated that the ATS had investigated the allegations made by the family of Govind Pansare and except the arrest of said two absconding accused, nothing else remained to be investigated. The Court further stated that the investigating agency was making necessary efforts to arrest the said absconding accused persons by carrying out further investigation.<\/p>\n

Noting the aforesaid, the Court stated that only for the purpose of arrest of absconding accused, continuous monitoring of the further investigation by this Court under Article 226 was not necessary. The Court further stated that after the arrest of the absconding accused persons, the investigating agency could report it to the Trial Court as per the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Court also noted that the trial of the present case had already begun wherein, so far, 28 witnesses had been examined by the prosecution.<\/p>\n

Regarding the principles concerning monitoring of investigation by the Court, the Court placed reliance on the cases of Vineet Narain<\/span> v. Union of India<\/span> (1998) 1 SCC 226<\/a>, Sushila Devi<\/span> v. State of Rajasthan<\/span> (2014) 1 SCC 269<\/a>, and Shahid Balwa<\/span> v. Union of India<\/span> (2014) 2 SCC 687<\/a>, wherein the Supreme Court had laid down that once the charge-sheet is submitted in the proper Court, the process of court-monitoring investigation would come to an end, and the ordinary process of the law would take over.<\/p>\n

Thus, the Court held that further monitoring of the investigation was not necessary and dismissed the writ petition. Further, the Court directed the Trial Court to expedite the hearing by conducting it daily.<\/p>\n
