Mr.N.B.Patil, APP for State. ... CORAM: K.U.CHANDIWAL, J. DATE:24/3/2011 1. Heard. The accused/applicant, a Police Inspector in Railway Protection Force, seeks exercise of powers in terms of Section 438 of Cr.P.C., in Crime No.14/2011, registered at Railway Police Station, Nanded. 2. On going through the FIR of the widow and the orders of the learned Sessions Judge at Parbhani, it is explicit, prior to one day of the incident, deceased was taken to the hospital but the Doctor refused to admit him, since his condition was serious or deteriorating. There was a head injury to the husband of the 2 CR.APL NO.1283/2011 complainant, and the Police Officers informed that deceased expired due to hanging, it was a suicidal act. 3. At this stage of the matter, since, on a petty accusation, life of a citizen is taken toll of, even if the applicant claims to be a Police Officer, however, that does not vest in him powers to eliminate the suspects, in the manner, it has been done. Custodial interrogation is imperative to unearth other details in the matter, his suspension, for that purpose, itself, would not mitigate the situation. Application dismissed. The observations are prima facie in nature. (K.U.CHANDIWAL) JUDGE AGP/1283-11crapl
