RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.35345 OF 2007 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 30th day of January, 2010. J U D G M E N T The petitioner filed this writ petition seeking for a direction to the 1st respondent to take action on the complaints raised in Exhibit P1. Along with the statement dated 13.01.2010, the 1st respondent has produced Annexure R1(a), a report forwarded by the Director, Vigilance & Anti-Corruption Bureau to the Government. It is revealed from the report that the representation submitted by the petitioner was forwarded by the Government for necessary action and the Deputy Superintendent of Police, Vigilance & Anti-Corruption Bureau, Alappuzha was directed to examine the matter. 2. It is also revealed from the report that earlier as per report dated 20.03.1996, disciplinary proceedings were recommended for minor penalties against the Suspect Officers. The matter was enquired into by the District Registrar, Alappuzha and it was found to be baseless. The Deputy Superintendent of W.P.(C) No.35345/2007 2 Police in his report submitted that the allegations are not substantiated. The same is confirmed by the Superintendent of Police also. In that view of the matter, as the enquiry pursuant to the request made by the petitioner has been completed, no further orders are called for in this writ petition. Therefore, this writ petition is closed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to avail of other remedies if so advised. No costs. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
