The Sub-Inspector of Police, Nerul Police station has submitted a report on 21.5.2009 to the Commissioner of Police, Navi Mumbai and confirmed that the deceased had committed suicide by jumping from the 2nd floor of the building. 4. We have seen the postmortem report which states that there was a fracture of 3rd to 8th ribs on right side in paraspinal line and the cause of death as per the Medical Officer was “haemorrhage and shock due to multiple injuries”. 5. The petitioner in this petition alleges that his son did not commit suicide and he was pushed by someone else.

We do not find any substance in the claim made before us that an offence is required to be registered so as to cause further fresh investigation to find out whether the petitioner’s son died a homicidal death. 6. The petition is rejected. The report is taken on record. [R.Y.GANOO, J.] [B.H. MARLAPALLE, J.]
