(Oral) By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed that the State be directed to act according to law and police be directed to re- investigate the case in respect of the death of his father Shri Karma Lama who according to the petitioner was murdered. Reply has been filed by the State, in which it is stated that as per the inquiry conducted by the police and on the basis of the statements of the various witnesses recorded by the police it has been found that the deceased Karma Lama alias Karma Sherpa died due to a fall in a Nallah at Skiba on 20.10.2005. The petitioner had made a complaint in this regard to the State Human Rights Commission in the year 2006. According to the respondents, they had informed the State Human Rights Commission about the fact and thereafter no further action was taken.

It is true that 1 Whether the reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the Judgment? Yes. 3’x1’x2’ size wound on the knee of the deceased but it cannot be said that just because there is such an injury, the pant of the deceased must have been torn at such place. Further, we had given various opportunities to the petitioner to file the supplementary affidavit. More than one year has elapsed but no supplementary affidavit has been filed. In view of the above facts, we do not find any reason to order re- investigation of the case. Petition is rejected. ( Deepak Gupta ), J. September 26, 2008 ( V.K Ahuja ), J. ™
