State represented by, The Inspector of Police, All Women Police Station, Madurai Town Police Station, Madurai. .. Respondent PRAYER: This Criminal Original Petition is filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, to direct the respondent to register a case on the complaint of the petitioner dated 16.02.2011 and pass such further or other orders. For Petitioner : Mr.A.Uthayakumar For Respondent : Mr.S.Muthu Venkatesan Govt. Advocate (Crl.side) O R D E R This is an application filed by the petitioner seeking for a direction, directing the respondent to register a case on the basis of the complaint given by the petitioner. 2. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.side) submitted that an enquiry is pending on the basis of the complaint given by the petitioner. 3. According to me, when a complaint discloses a cognizable offence the respondent is duty bound to register a case and thereafter conduct an investigation and without registering a case, they cannot keep the complaint as petition and conduct enquiry. Hence this petition is disposed of by directing the respondent to register the case, if the complaint discloses a cognizable offence.
