GIKKU JACOB THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 03/01/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: R. BASANT, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.C.No. 31616 of 2006 L - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 3rd day of January, 2007 JUDGMENT The grievance of the petitioner is that the police is not taking proper and effective action on Ext.P1 complaint lodged by him before the 1st respondent. He submits that an F.I.R. ought to have been registered. 2. Notice was given to the Prosecutor. The 1st respondent has filed a statement. A copy thereof is placed before me for my perusal. It reveals that no crime was registered as Ext.P1 complaint did not reveal the commission of any cognizable offence. 3. In the nature of the contentions, Ext.P1 was perused closely. The crux of the grievance made in Ext.P1 is that the 3rd respondent has not made payment of the price of goods supplied to him. The documents relating to the consignment were given to the 3rd respondent and the consignment was delivered directly to him without insisting for any payment. 4. It follows that the precise grievance is of non-payment of money for the goods supplied. Accepting the averments as a whole, W.P.C.No. 31616 of 2006 L 2 it is impossible to decipher any allegation of commission of any cognizable offence. I am, in these circumstances, satisfied that the respondent police is justified in not registering a crime on the basis of Ext.P1 complaint. 5. This Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. (R. BASANT) Judge tm
