Counsel for Delhi police S S Gandhi submitted before a division bench comprising Justices Dalveer Bhandari and R S Sodhi that the police have almost completed the investigation and the chargesheet will be filed before the end of the stipulated period of 90 days, ending on August four.

Counsel for petitioner Bhrashtachar Virodhi Morcha Mohammed Sajid wanted that the court should direct the police to reply to various queries raised in the petition like whether the restaurant had a valid licence, whether it had the NOC from Delhi Development Authority, what was the nature of restaurant and the people who were present in the restaurant at the time of incident.

Agreeing that the questions did carry substantial importance to people, the judges, however, said let the investigation be completed andchargesheet be filed before the police are asked to reply to any other queries.

Gandhi said the police had no problem in replying to various queries raised by the petitioner, but ``our priority at present is filing the chargesheet.''

He submitted that several people, including those who were inside the restaurant at the time of the incident, have been examined and among them is a relative of a person who held the highest post of the country. He did not name the relative or the VVIP.

The judges warned that filing of chargesheet was not the end of the road for the police. The other questions raised by the petitioner were all of public importance and the police will have to reply to them.

``We will not trouble them at this stage. Let them file the chargesheet and then we will see the other aspects. We will like to know the facts regarding other aspects as well,'' Justice Bhandari observed. The matter was adjourned till August 23 for further hearing.

To the allegation of the petitioner that the policewas not investigating the matter properly, the judges said ``'unless there are some documents which can demonstrate beyond doubt that the police were not investigating the matter properly, how can we presume that they are not doing their job properly.''
