The PSI attached to the Colaba Police Station has filed an affidavit-in-reply and it has been further stated that the final report of investigation is yet to be filed. We have also taken into 2 consideration the PM report signed on 8-12-2004 by two Medical Officers of G.T. Hospital, Mumbai and the opinion as to the probable cause of death recorded is "due to hanging" and the death is unnatural. The affidavit further states that the petitioner-father was called to the Police Station and he went there with Advocate A.V.K. Nair and his statement was recorded in the presence of the said Advocate who also acted as a a translator. Having regards to the spot panchanama, inquest panchanama and P.M. report, we are of the opinion that there is no need to transfer the investigation from Colaba police station to the Crime Branch. .
