Respondents. Mr. R.V. Govilkar for the Petitioner Mrs. S.D. Shinde, Additional Public Prosecutor, for the Respondents. CORAM: B ILAL NAZKI and A.A. KUMBHAKONI, JJ. DATE : AUGUST 22, 2008 P.C.:- This petition has been filed, seeking the following reliefs from this Court:- “(a) The Respondents be directed to take action, steps forthwith against the said John Baptista, Ganesh Vichare, his three hirelings who had physically assaulted the Petitioner, physically caused him grievous hurt and had also threatened the Petitioner to kill him and cut him into pieces and for having committed other serious offences as mentioned in the 2 FIR No. 214/08 dated 03.04.08; (b) Respondent No.1, the Commissioner of Police, and Respondent No.5, the State of Maharashtra, be directed to take steps and actions to enquire into the conduct of Shri Tadavi, DCP, Respondent No.2 herein and Shri Haresh Goswami, Respondent No.4, for their behaviour against the Petitioner of threatening him to withdraw the complaint lodged by the Petitioner or else to suffer consequences; (c) Respondent No.2, Shri. Tadavi, the DCP of Zone 8, be directed not to interfere, in any manner, in the investigation or inquiry, being conducted by the Vakola Police Station and any other DCP may be directed to supervise the investigation of the said case / incident.” 2. The investigation on the basis of an F.I.R. filed by the petitioner is already in progress. It was contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that a report was filed before the Magistrate, which was recalled by the police itself, which shows that the investigation is still pending. 3. This Court cannot monitor the investigation as to which offence is made out or which offence is not. The learned counsel for the petitioner wants this Court to direct the police to register the cases against the accused persons which, according to him, they have committed. Such a direction cannot be given by us. It is for the 3 investigating agency to reach the conclusions, after investigating as to which offence has been committed by the accused, if at all any offence has been committed, and if the petitioner is not satisfied with the investigation, after a report is filed, he can always approach the concerned Magistrate. 4. For the second relief, no basis is laid down in the Writ Petition. 5. Therefore, if the petitioner has any grievance against any of the police officers, he has liberty to approach the higher officers of the Police Department. 6. With the above observations, the Writ Petition is dismissed. BILAL NAZKI, J. A.A. KUMBHAKONI, J.
