THE SUB INSPECTOR OF POLICE ALAPPUZHA SOUTH POLICE STATION ALAPPPUZHA, ALAPPUZHA DISTRICT. BY G.P. SRI. GIKKU JACOB. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/05/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: R.BASANT, J. ---------------------- W.P.C.No.13056 of 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of May 2008 J U D G M E N T The short grievance of the petitioner is that crime No.557/06 registered at the Alappuzha South police station on the basis of a complaint filed in pursuance of Ext.P1 direction issued by this court in O.P.No.10324/99 is not being properly investigated by the police. It is on the basis of the order passed by this court in Ext.P1 that such a complaint was filed; but inspite of that, police have not been taking any appropriate action to investigate crime No.557/06 of Alappuzha South police station, it is contended. 2. I am, in these circumstances, satisfied that this writ petition is not maintainable. No exceptional circumstances has been pointed out on the basis of which notwithstanding the dictum in Sakiri Vasu v. State of U.P & Others [2008 AIR SCW 309] this court would be justified in entertaining this writ petition. The fact that the crime has been registered on the basis of interim orders issued by this court in Ext.P1 is by itself not a sufficient reason to justify the prayer for entertaining of this writ petition now. W.P.C.No.13056/08 2 3. This petition is accordingly dismissed. I may however hasten to observe that the dismissal of this petition shall not fetter the rights of the petitioner to approach the learned Magistrate with appropriate request under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. The learned Magistrate must consider such request and issue appropriate directions under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C in accordance with the dictum in Sakiri Vasu v. State of U.P & Others [2008 AIR SCW 309]. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) jsr W.P.C.No.13056/08 3 W.P.C.No.13056/08 4 R.BASANT, J. CRL.M.CNo. ORDER 21ST DAY OF MAY2007
