SIRI JAGAN, J. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` O.P. No. 4262 OF 2001 G ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 2nd day of January, 2007 J U D G M E N T Petitioner's daughter, who was married to one Ajith Kumar, died at Sarsawa, Sharanpur. Obviously the case is one of suicide. The petitioner alleges that this is a dowry death. He cites the undue haste shown by the husband in cremating the dead body of petitioner's daughter as a reason for his suspicion. The petitioner submits that since the marriage between his daughter and Ajith Kumar was only 5 years old, the case was one for an investigation for unnatural death. The petitioner, therefore, seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to conduct an investigation into the unnatural death of the daughter of the petitioner. However, for the present, the petitioner would be satisfied with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and dispose of Exts.P2 and P3, as expeditiously as possible. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Assistant Solicitor General. In the facts and circumstances of the case, there would be a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Exts.P2 and P3, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall forward a certified copy of the judgment along with copies of Exts.P2 and P3 to the 1st respondent for due compliance. (S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE) aks S. SIRI JAGAN , J.
