TO JUDGE VK N.K.BALAKRISHNAN, J. ---------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.2051 of 2011 ---------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 8th day of November, 2011 Judgment The petitioner is the father of deceased Ramachandran who died on 11.8.2006. The petitioner had suspicion on the death of his son. Hence, he moved this court for a direction to entrust the investigation to the Crime Branch. The learned Public Prosecutor has been heard. The case diary has been made available for my perusal. The postmortem certificate shows that the findings are consistent with death due to poisoning. It was also noted that ethyl alcohol was detected in the viscera, blood and urine of the deceased. The Chemical Examiner's report has also been made available which is also consistent with the opinion expressed by the doctor in the postmortem certificate. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the deceased had some enemies and so the father had genuine doubt regarding the cause of death. On going through the case diary, nothing is found to justify an order of investigation by another agency. The learned Public Prosecutor also after going through the case diary submits that the WPC 2051/2011 2 investigation was conducted properly. Under these circumstances, no further direction is required to be issued in this case. This writ petition is disposed of accordingly. N.K.BALAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. srd WPC 2051/2011 3
