To put it in a nut<\/p>\n<p>shell, the grievance of the petitioner is that no proper<\/p>\n<p>investigation is being conducted into that crime. The petitioner,<\/p>\n<p>inter alia, laments that actually the offence under Section 307<\/p>\n<p>I.P.C is made out. But the police have included only the offence<\/p>\n<p>under Section 308 I.P.C.\n<\/p>\n<p>      2.
