BASANT, J. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 2367 OF 2008 F ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 6th day of February, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner had filed C.M.P.No.718/05 before the Enquiry Commissioner and Special Judge, Thrissur. By Ext.P4 order, the learned Special Judge had forwarded the complaint to the Director, Vigilance and Anti Corruption Bureau, Thiruvananthapuram for investigation and report. The grievance of the petitioner is that no further action has been taken by the Director, Vigilance and Anti Corruption Bureau. I would have expected the petitioner to raise this grievance before the Enquiry Commissioner and Special Judge, who issued the direction dated 20.2.06. Not having done that, the petitioner has come to this Court for issuance of directions under Article 226 of the Constitution. I am certainly of the opinion that the petitioner must seek his relief before the Enquiry Commissioner and Special Judge and it is WPC.2367/08 : 2 : for the Enquiry Commissioner and Special Judge to ascertain whether any report has been filed and if not, why such report is not being filed. 2. I am satisfied that no directions under Article 226 of the Constitution can or need be issued now. The petitioner's option to approach the learned Enquiry Commissioner and Special Judge, Thrissur shall remain unfettered by the dismissal of this writ petition. 3. This writ petition is dismissed with the above observation. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) aks
