This is a writ petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution

of India seeking to issue a direction to the 5 th respondent to consider

Ext.P1 complaint and take appropriate steps. The grievance of the

petitioner is that he was on receipt of obscene materials from unknown

sources through his Whats App on regular basis. Even though the

police officials were duly alerted, they are not taking any action

against the culprits.

2. Now on instruction, the learned Senior Public Prosecutor

has submitted that a crime has already registered as Crime

No.684/2021 in Chengannur Police Station, alleging offence under

Section 120 (o) of the Kerala Police Act and Section 67 of the IT Act.

In the light of the submission, the petition has become infructuous.

Recording the above submission the writ petition is closed.
