Patna High Court CR. WJC No.272 of 2012 (2) dt.13-09-2012 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Writ No.272 of 2012 ====================================================== 1. Sheikh Mohammed Qasim S/O Late Sheikh Abdul Qayum at present resident of Raja Bazar, P.S. Hawai Adda, Distt-Patna .... .... Petitioner/s oersus 1. The State Of Bihar through Chief Secretary , Government of Bihar, Patna 2. The Director General of Police, Bihar, Patna 3. The I.G. Patna 4. The Senior Superintendent of Police Patna .... .... Respondent/s ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 2 13-09-2012 The petitioner is informant of Phulwari Sharif P.S. Case No.488 of 2011 dated 27.11.2011 instituted under [STATUTE] . It is stated that earlier also he had filed a case being Phulwari Sharif P.S. Csase No.150 of 2011 dated 25.3.2011 under [STATUTE] against some of the accused persons and the police, on conclusion of investigation, submitted final report under section 173(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. In that case the accused persons were not sent up for trial. As such, the petitioner has lost faith in the investigating agency. He, thus, wants that Phulwari Sharif P.S. Case No.488 of 2011 dated 27.11.2011 be investigated either by higher police officials or by any other investigating agency like Patna High Court CR. WJC No.272 of 2012 (2) dt.13-09-2012 C.I.D. In my view, neither the informant nor the accused has a right to choose the investigating agency. There is no special circumstance which warrants transfer of investigation of the aforesaid case to any other investigating agency. In case the petitioner has any grievance against the outcome of the investigation, he has remedy available before the Magistrate concerned before whom the report shall be submitted by the investigating agency, after conclusion of investigation. I, thus, find not merit in the present writ petition. It is dismissed, accordingly. Md.S./- (Ashwani Kumar Singh, J)
