JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.(C). No.38530 of 2010 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of January, 2011. JUDGMENT This petition is seeking a direction to handover investigation of Crime No.6 of 2006 of Moozhiyar Police Station to the Crime Wing of the State Police. Petitioner's son, Venugopal died on 28.01.2006 and a case was registered under Section 174 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. According to the petitioner the postmortem examination and chemical analysis reports revealed that the death was due to electrocution but, there was no proper investigation into the matter. It is stated that no meaningful investigation was conducted and persons who were with the deceased were not questioned and the involvement of persons referred to in the petition was not considered by the Police. Even though petitioner approached the learned Judicial First Class Magistrate-I, Ranni with Ext.P5, petition to call for records relating to the case, supervise and monitor further investigation, that petition was dismissed. Hence this petition. 2. I have heard learned counsel for petitioner and the Public Prosecutor. Learned Public Prosecutor after getting instructions has submitted that a final report is filed against two accused persons for offences punishable under Sections 304A read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 54 of the Electricity Act. WP(C) No.38530/2010 2 3. In the light of that submission any further direction in this proceeding is not called for. It is open to the petitioner if he is aggrieved by the final report to take appropriate steps in the matter in the appropriate forum as provided under law. Petition is closed with the above observation. THOMAS P.JOSEPH, Judge. cks
