1 BEFORE THE MADURAI BENCH OF MADRAS HIGH COURT DATED: 03.11.2011 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE S.NAGAMUTHU CRL.O.P.(MD).No.14303 of 2011 Thangathai : Petitioner Vs. 1.The Superintendent of Police, Virudhunagar District. 2.The Inspector of Police, Watrap Police Station,Virudhunagar District. ( Cr.No.194/11) : Respondents PRAYER: Petition is filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to direct the first respondent to change the investigation officer in Crime No.194 of 2011 on the file of the second respondent and to ensure fair, transparent and speedy investigation in accordance with law. For Petitioner : Mr.V.Thirumal For Respondents: Mr.P.Kannithevan, Government Advocate (Crl. side) O R D E R Seeking to transfer the case in Crime No.194 of 2011 from the file of the second respondent to ensure fair, transparent and speedy investigation in accordance with law, the petitioner has come up with this petition. 2. The petitioner is the de-facto complainant in the case. According to him, there is also a counter case in Crime No.193 of 2011. But the second respondent is not doing the investigation properly. 3. The learned Government Advocate (crl. Side) would submit that the investigation is done properly and on completing the investigation appropriate report would be filed. 4. A perusal of the petition would go to show that except making bald allegations against the Inspector of Police, nothing has been produced before this Court to substantiate the contention that the investigation is not properly conducted. On the mere allegation or for mere saying the investigation cannot be transferred, that too, at the whims and fancies of the parties. Since, there are two cases arising out of same occurrence. both are to be investigated by the same investigating officer. When the investigation in Crime No.193 of 2011 is conducted by one Officer, the present case cannot be transferred to yet another officer. In view of all the above, I find no merit in the petition and accordingly the petition is dismissed.
