      THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
05.04.2022, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
 WP(C) No.14263 of 2021
                                        3




                               JUDGMENT

Dated this the 05th day of April, 2022

The petitioner, who is the de facto complainant

in C.M.P. No.1098/2017 on the files of the Enquiry

Commissioner and Special Judge (Vigliance),

Muvattupuzha approached this Court for a

direction to the first respondent to conduct

investigation on Ext.P1 FIR, in accordance with

the Vigilance Manual and Cr.P.C. and to file final

report. Another prayer sought is to direct the

respondents to furnish the details regarding the

progress of the investigation.

2. Pending the proceedings, it is reported

that Ext.P4 final report dated 31.12.2021 has

been filed before the court below. It seems that

the matter in under consideration of the court

below.

Having considered this, I am not inclined to WP(C) No.14263 of 2021

invoke the jurisdiction of this court at this

juncture, to enable the court below to consider

the final report on its merits. The writ petition is

closed reserving the right of the petitioner to raise

all possible contentions.
