1 12 wp.991.10 ndm IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 991 OF 2010 Bhikaji Yadu Kenjale. ... Petitioner Vs. The State of Maharashtra and ors. ... Respondents ­­­­­ Ms. Sonal Parab i/b Rajeev Sawant and Associates for the Petitioner. Dr. F.R.Shaikh, APP for the State. ­­­­­ CORAM : A.M. KHANWILKAR and P.D. KODE, JJ. DATE : 12 th October, 2010. P.C. 1 Heard the learned counsel parties. 2 The principal relief claimed in this petition is to transfer the investigation of A.D.R. No. 31 of 2008 to State CID or any other appropriate agency as the Court may deem fit. The grievance of the Petitioner amongst other appears to be that the investigation done by the Lonavala City Police Station, Pune is not proper and in any case is replete with deficiencies such as even the statement of the persons, who removed the dead body of Sagar Kenjale, aged 21 years have not been recorded by the Investigating Officer. We are in agreement with the argument of the Petitioner that merely saying that the said persons, who 2 12 wp.991.10 removed the dead body of Sagar Kenjale were not available, is no explanation. No attempt has been made to trace the said persons by the concerned Investigating Officer. Without going into any further details, which are pressed into service on behalf of the Petitioner, we think it appropriate to direct the transfer of investigation of A.D.R. No. 31 of 2008 to State CID, Crime Branch, who undertakes further investigation and proceed further in accordance with law. 3 Petition disposed of accordingly. [ P.D. KODE, J ] [ A.M. KHANWILKAR, J ]
