[1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.385 OF 2005 S.S. Mohiddeen .... Petitioner Vs. The Commissioner of Police, Bhiwandi City, District Thane & others .... Respondents Shri A.K. Patil for the Petitioner. Shri S.R. Shinde, A.P.P., for the Respondents. CORAM: CORAM: CORAM: R.M.S. KHANDEPARKAR & P.V. KAKADE, JJ. DATED: DATED: DATED: MARCH 14, 2005 P.C: P.C: P.C: Heard. Bare reading of the so called complaints disclose that in none of those complaints the petitioner had disclosed any particular incident which could reveal a cognizable offence so as to enable the police to investigate into the matter. Mere vague allegations need not satisfy the police nor compel them to commence investigation. The provisions of law comprised under Section 157 of the Code of Criminal Procedure being very clear in that regard, no fault can be found with the police authorities for not taking any action in relation to the complaints lodged by the petitioner. In case the petitioner wants the police authorities to take action in the matter, the complaints have to disclose the incident which could reveal a cognizable offence. In [2] the circumstances, therefore, there is no case for issuance of any direction as such in the case in hand and therefore the petition is rejected. (R.M.S. Khandeparkar, J.) (P.V. Kakade, J.)
