THIS WRIT PETITION (CRIMINAL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION
ON 29.06.2022, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE
FOLLOWING:
W.P.Crl.No.515/2021 2
JUDGMENT
The petitioner has approached this Court with the following
reliefs:
"i) Issue a writ in the nature of mandamus, order or direction directing the 2nd respondent to register a Crime on the basis of Exhibit P3 complaint and conduct investigation in accordance with law forthwith;
ii) To pass any other and such other orders as this Hon'ble Court deem fit to pass in the nature and circumstances of the case.
iii) to award the cost of this proceedings."
2. Ext.P3 complaint was submitted by the petitioner before
the 3rd respondent, highlighting the incident occurred on 01.09.2021
at 12.00 noon. Five persons, one among them in the uniform of
Railway Police, trespassed into the house of the petitioner and
abused his mother. It is also alleged that they have taken
photographs of the mother and child of the petitioner. According to
the petitioner no action is being taken by the 3 rd respondent on
Ext.P3 complaint. The writ petition was submitted in such
circumstances. The learned Government Pleader upon instructions
submitted that on the basis of the aforesaid complaint preliminary
enquiry was conducted and it did not reveal any cognizable offence.
In such circumstances, I am of the view that, the prayer sought for
by the petitioner need not be considered at this juncture. Grievance
of the petitioner can be highlighted before the Jurisdictional
Magistrate by submitting a private complaint in this regard. In such
circumstances, this Writ Petition is closed, leaving open the remedy
of the petitioner to file a private complaint.
