[1] IN IN IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.1142 OF 2007 Shankarlal Nenaram Mali .... Petitioner Vs. Senior Inspector of Police, Mahatma Phule Police Station, Kalyan & Ors. .... Respondents Sarvasri S.V. Marwadi i/b P.M. Purohit for the Petitioner. Ms U.V. Kejariwal, APP, for the Respondents. CORAM: CORAM: CORAM: SRI R.M.S. KHANDEPARKAR & SRI A.A. SAYED, JJ. DATED: DATED: DATED: JANUARY 11, 2008 P.C: P.C: P.C: 1. Heard. This is a petition essentially seeking relief in the nature of direction for proper investigation by the police authorities in relation to the complaint made by the petitioner regarding the missing of his son. The learned APP states that the police have already taken note of the complaint and the investigation is in progress. The grievance of the petitioner is that no proper steps are being taken for conducting the investigation in the right direction and the police have not referred the diary of the missing person for the hand-writing expert’s opinion. 2. We do not find any case having been made out for giving any direction by this Court in relation to the [2] investigation in the matter. As regards the alleged diary of the missing person, apart from the statement of the petitioner that the concerned diary was written by the missing person, undisputedly, no other material is supplied to the investigating agency to verify that the hand-writing in the concerned diary was that of the missing person. Admittedly, no document which could clearly and convincingly establish that it carries the hand-writing of the missing person has been supplied by the petitioner to the police authorities. Being so, question of ascertaining the hand-writing in the diary with the report of the hand-writing expert does not arise and, therefore, the police authorities cannot be blamed at this stage for having not obtained the opinion of the hand-writing expert in relation to the contents of the diary in question. 3. As no case is made out for issuance of any direction as such to the police authorities in relation to the investigation and while accepting the statement of the learned APP that the police are already seized with the matter and the investigation is in progress, there is no case for interference. The petition is therefore rejected. (A.A. Sayed, J.) (R.M.S.Khandeparkar, J.) [3] sjs/J8cwp1142.7 sjs/J8cwp1142.7 sjs/J8cwp1142.7
