    5. Perusal of the record indicates that the brother of the

    prosecutrix has lodged impugned FIR against the petitioners,

    wherein certain allegations have been levelled against the

    petitioners. The allegations levelled in the FIR reveals commission

    of cognizable offence. The correctness of the allegations levelled

    against the petitioners in the FIR cannot be examined by this

    Court, while exercising its inherent powers contained under

    Section 482 Cr.P.C. This Court cannot conduct fishing and roving

    enquiry to find out the truth behind the allegations levelled against

    the petitioners, inasmuch as, this task has been assigned to the

    Investigating Officer.

    6. Considering overall facts and circumstances of the case, this

    Court deems it just and proper to dispose of the instant criminal

    misc. petition with the expectation from the Investigating Officer

    to investigate the matter in light of the statement of the

    prosecutrix recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. and thereafter

    submit the conclusion report of investigation under Section 173

    Cr.P.C. before the concerned Court.

    7. Accordingly, the instant criminal misc. petition stands

    disposed of. The stay application and all pending applications, if

    any, also stand disposed of.

    8. The interim order dated 02.09.2022 passed by this Court

    shall remain in currency till submission of the conclusion report

    before the concerned Court.
