J U D G M E N T This writ petition is filed to compel respondent No.2 to entrust investigation of Crime No.99/08 of Kalloorkad Police Station to a superior officer or to Crime Branch. The learned Public Prosecutor had made available me a statement of the Station House Officer. In paragraph 4 of the said statement it is very specifically stated that in the first month of this year the Superintendent of Police, Ernakulam Rural called the file to his office on a complaint filed by the defacto complainant, verified the entire case diary and directed the Circle Inspector of Police to conduct further investigation. Therefore it is stated that from 12.2.2009 onwards Circle Inspector of police is the Investigating Officer. Prayer in the writ petition itself is either to appoint a superior officer or hand over it to the Crime Branch. Now the grievance of the petitioner has been adverted to by the Superintendent of W.P.C 4339 OF 2009 -:2:- Police and Circle Inspector of Police had been directed to conduct investigation. So the said factum is recorded and the writ petition is closed. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
