No. 1633 of 2011 C.M. is allowed. Written statement on behalf of respondent No. 4 is taken on record. CWP No. 18267 of 2010 The grievance of the writ petitioner appearing in person is with regard to procurement of different sports items at exorbitant rates. Such items have been procured by respondents No. 2 and 3 from respondents No. 4 and 5. The details of the items; the rates at which such items have C.M. No. 1633 of 2011 and CWP No. 18267 of 2010 2 been procured and the market rates are available in the compilation enclosed as Annexure 51 as well as the responses received from different sports authorities of the country which have been brought on record by the writ petitioner. In the above circumstances, the writ petitioner has prayed for the C.B.I. enquiry into the matter. We do not see as to why the prayers made in the writ petition should be granted by us. If the petitioner is in possession of materials which discloses the commission of a cognizable offence, it is always open for him as for any citizen to lodge an FIR before the jurisdictional police authorities. The petitioner, may adopt the said course of action. It is made clear that in case the petitioner or any other person files an FIR in respect of the allegations contained in the writ petition and the same discloses a cognizable offence against the respondents or any other person, the concerned authorities will register the FIR and investigate the same in accordance with law. This will dispose of the Public Interest Litigation. ( RANJAN GOGOI) ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE February 03, 2011 (AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH ) pj JUDGE
