The State of Maharashtra & Ors. ... Respondents Ms. Yogini Chauhan i/b Mr. Rajendra Parkar for the petitioner. Ms. S.D. Shinde, A.P.P. for the State. CORAM: MRS. RANJANA DESAI & MRS. MRIDULA BHATKAR, JJ. DATED : 18TH FEBRUARY, 2010. P.C.:- 1. The petitioner has made a grievance in this petition that Complaint dated 18/1/2008 made by the petitioner against one Mr. Amit Rathod of Bankot Village has not been investigated by the police. A prayer is made that some investigating agency like Central Bureau of Investigation or State CID may be directed to investigate the said complaint. According to the petitioner, said AJN 2 Rathod conducted blasts near a Durgah situate at Village Bankot, Taluka Mandangadh, District Ratnagiri, which caused extensive damage to the Durgah. According to the petitioner, said Rathod does not have the required licence to conduct such blasts. 2. We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner, who has made a serious allegation against the inaction of the police. She drew our attention to the information received by the petitioner under the Right to Information Act. It is annexed to the petition at Ex-B. It states that said Rathod does not have necessary permission to conduct the blasts. 3. We have also heard learned A.P.P. appearing for the State. She submitted that in respect of the said blasts, one Asif Nadkar, who had made a complaint along with the petitioner has given a statement at Bankot Police Station that since the blast operation is now stopped, he has no grievance about the said Rathod. Admittedly, the AJN 3 petitioner has not given any such statement. Learned A.P.P. on instructions from Mr. A.R. Kadam, Head Constable attached to Bankot Police Station and Mr. P.N. Pawar, Deputy Superintendent of Police, State C.I.D. who are present in the court, states that since information is now available that said Rathod does not have necessary licence, the said information will be verified and, if necessary, appropriate steps will be taken against said Rathod in accordance with law. 4. In view of the above statement made by learned A.P.P. on instructions from the abovementioned police officers, we feel that it is not necessary to transfer the complaint of the petitioner to any other investigating agency. The petition is disposed of. [MRS. RANJANA DESAI, J.] [MRS. MRIDULA BHATKAR, J.]
