THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.32337 OF 2011 ORDER: The action of the second respondent in closing the first information report, and in submitting the final report as “lack of evidence”, is questioned in this Writ Petition as being illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner has a remedy under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (Cr.P.C.) to approach the Magistrate concerned, and request him either to take cognizance of the offence on the basis of the material available on record or to direct re-investigation of the offence. In view of the remedy available to the petitioner under the Cr.P.C, I consider it wholly inappropriate to exercise jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the remedy under the Cr.P.C, the Writ Petition is dismissed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J Date: 09.12.2011 USD/MRKR
