SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.13279 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 21st day of May, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner is aggrieved by the inaction on the part of respondents 2 and 3 in enquiring into allegations of misappropriation of money made by respondents 2 to 4. According to the petitioner, the action of respondents 2 to 4 amounts to corruption coming within the purview of the Prevention of Corruption Act. I am of opinion that if the petitioner has a case that respondents 2 to 4 are liable to be prosecuted under the Prevention of Corruption Act, the remedy of the petitioner is to file a petition before the appropriate Criminal Court dealing with the cases under the Prevention of Corruption Act. Therefore, without prejudice to such right this writ petition is dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
