THE CITY POLICE COMMISSIONER, KOCHI CITY, ERNAKULAM. BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.M.S.BREEZ THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/11/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: R.BASANT, J ------------------------------------ W.P(C).No.30735 of 2007 ------------------------------------- Dated this the 2 nd day of November, 2007 JUDGMENT The grievance of the petitioner is that his complaint-Ext.P1 before the 1st respondent has not evoked any response which is legally mandatory. The learned Government Pleader after taking instructions submits that though belatedly, Crime 751 of 2007 has been registered at Panangad Police Station on 30.10.2007 under Section 498 A r/w 34 I.P.C. The learned Government Pleader submits that the needful shall be done and a fair, efficient and expeditious investigation shall be conducted by the police. Though dissatisfied that there has been no prompt registration of the F.I.R, I am satisfied that the submission of the learned Government Pleader can be accepted. No further orders or directions are necessary now in this Writ Petition admittedly. This petition is, in these circumstances, dismissed. I make it clear that the dismissal of this Writ Petition will not in any way fetter the rights of the petitioner to approach this Court if there be no satisfactory progress in the investigation.
