THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR Writ Petition No.17615 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner seeks a direction to the police to complete the investigation in Crime No.113 of 2005 (wrongly mentioned as Crime No.185 of 2005) of Mandamarri Police Station, Adilabad District and to submit a report under Section 173 Cr.P.C., before the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Mancherial, Adilabad District. Lapses in the investigation by the police authorities are ordinarily not amenable to judicial review by this Court in a writ petition. As pointed out by the Supreme Court in Sakiri Vasu v. State of Uttar Pradesh and others[1], the Magistrate concerned is given wide powers under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. The Magistrate can monitor the process, so as to obtain a complete and proper investigation. He would therefore be in a position to correct any lapses on the part of the police in carrying on the said investigation. Without availing this remedy, the petitioner directly approached this Court. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the remedy under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C., before the Magistrate concerned. No costs. ___________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J. Date:26.07.2010 VGB [1] (2008) 2 SCC 409
