1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD. CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.110 OF 2009 Niranjan s/o Prakash Pande and another .. Petitioners Versus The Union of India and others .. Respondents Shri S.S.Ladda, Advocate for petitioner Shri R.P.Phatke, Standing Counsel for respondent No.1 Shri S.K.Kadam, APP for respondents 2 and 3 CORAM : P.V.HARDAS AND R.K.DESHPANDE, JJ DATE : 18th JUNE, 2009 PER COURT : 1. This is a frivolous petition styled as a public interest litigation. We may at this juncture reproduce the prayer clauses in the petition. The petitioner has prayed vide prayer clauses (B) and (C) as under : 2 “(B) The necessary directions/writ kindly be issued against the respondents to initiate prompt and appropriate criminal actions against the persons who under any name, mode or manner opt and proceed for dying on his own so also similar action also be initiated against all the persons who in whatsoever manner support such acts of voluntary death; and (C) The respondents further be directed by suitable writ/directions to initiate suitable action against the police man or officer who neglects or avoids to take action against the person or persons who opt and proceed for claiming voluntary death and the persons who actively supports for such acts of such person or persons.” 2. In the entire body of petition not a single instance is quoted wherein a report in respect of commission of an offence punishable either under Section 306 or 306 of the Indian Penal Codee had been reported tot he concerned Police Station and the Police Station had not taken cognizance of the said offence. All the averments in the petitioner are not only vague but omnibus allegations are made without pointing out a single instance. In any event an offence of attempt to commit suicide is on the Statute book and also the abetment to commit suicide. In the light of that, according to us, the reliefs which the petitioner has prayed for by way of such blanket directions cannot be issued. We doubt very much the bona fides of the petitioner in filing this petition. No public interest is involved in 3 this matter. In any event, the aggrieved persons are at liberty to approach the appropriate forum in the event no cognizance is taken by the Police in respect of offence punishable under Section 306 and 309 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. In the light of that there is no merit in the petition and the petition is summarily dismissed with no order as to costs. ( R.K. DESHPANDE, J.) ( P.V.HARDAS, J.) (vvr/110.09criwp)
