Judgment Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J. This writ petition is filed making certain allegations against respondents 3 to 5. We are not going into the assertions on facts, having regard to the fact that the writ petitioner is the accused in a case pending investigation in relation to which this Court had considered an application for bail and dismissed it – See order dated 13.1.2011 in Bail Application No.175/2011. The version that is sought to be projected in the writ petition was projected before the learned single Judge in the bail application also. While the petitioner relies on different materials placed in this writ petition, we are of the view that they, by themselves, do not create any situation where this Court would exercise its visitorial jurisdiction even if the petitioner WPC36064/10 -: 2 :- has any complaint of manhandling etc. If the petitioner has any complaint in that regard, his remedy is to make appropriate complaint, which will ultimately reach in the form of a report to Police Complaint Authority, in terms of Section 17 of the Kerala Police Act, which authority is headed by a former Judge of this Court. We, therefore, do not find any necessity or justification for the exercise of writ jurisdiction to consider grant of relief to the writ petitioner. Hence, we dismiss the writ petition without expressing anything on the merits or demerits of the allegations made herein and leaving the petitioner to seek remedy by making appropriate complaint to the appropriate authority. Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, Judge. P.S.Gopinathan, Judge. ps-Sha/1002
