(Oral) None was present for the petitioner on 14.02.2011, 16.03.2011, 27.05.2011 and 04.08.2011. Present petition was filed seeking following relief :- “Petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. with a prayer for directing the respondents No.2 and 3 to take appropriate legal action against respondent No.4 who has forged the signatures of petitioner and has illegally received the passport of the petitioner and is retaining the same in his custody. It is further prayed that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to pass any other order or direction which this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the present CRM-M- No. 22235 of 2009 2 case.” In paragraph No.1 of the petition, it has been stated that petitioner has also got registered an FIR No.88 dated 18.02.2009, under Sections 406 and 498-A IPC against respondent No.4. In view of the law laid down by Hon’ble Apex Court in case titled as ‘Sakiri Vasu Vs. State of Uttar Pradesh and others’, reported in 2008 (2) SCC 409, I am not inclined to invoke my jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. directing respondents No.2 and 3 to take action against respondent No.4. It goes without saying that if any offence is found having been made out in the FIR No.88, police is duty bound to take action in accordance with law. No merit. Dismissed.
