THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR Writ Petition No.17868 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner assails the final report dated 28.01.2010 submitted by the Inspector of Police, P.M.Palem Police Station, Visakhapatnam, in Crime No.382 of 2009 to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Visakhapatnam. He seeks a consequential direction to the State and the Superintendent of Police, Visakhapatnam to entrust the investigation to the CBCID in the interests of justice. As has been held time and again by this Court and also the highest Court in the land, entrustment of investigation to the CBCID by direction of this Court should be only in rare and exceptional cases. If the petitioner is aggrieved by any lapses in the investigation made by the police authorities in Crime No.382 of 2009, the appropriate remedy for him is to approach the Magistrate concerned under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. As pointed out by the Supreme Court in Sakiri Vasu v. State of Uttar Pradesh and others[1], the power of the Magistrate under this provision is very wide. The Magistrate can monitor the investigation by redressing the lapses on the part of the police so as to obtain a proper investigation in the matter. Without availing this remedy, the petitioner approached this Court by way of the present writ petition seeking entrustment of the matter to the CBCID. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the remedy before the Magistrate concerned under Section 156 (3) Cr.P.C. No costs. ____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J. Date:26.07.2010 Note: Issue CC in two days. (b/o) VGB [1] (2008) 2 SCC 409
