You seem to be in tearing hurry. It was only on 19.07.2007 that you filed complaint and its only 7th Aug today. There is no time limit. What are the preventive measures according to you opposition has taken. I know u have suffered a lot but please have faith in legal system and dont worry about the imaginary delays. There is none. You will get justice sure. Wait for at least another 15 days from today. If nothing happens till then write to me again.
