JUDGMENT
This writ petition is filed with following prayers:
a) This Hon'ble court may through a writ of mandamus direct the 3rd respondent to file the Final report in Crime 1322/ 2014, Crime No.0515/2015.
b) To award cost of this proceedings to the Petitioner.
c) Any other relief as this court may think fit.
2. The main prayer in this writ petition is to issue
direction to the 3rd respondent to file the final report in Crime
No.1322/2014 and Crime No.515/2015. This Court directed
the Public Prosecutor to get instructions. A statement is filed
by the Deputy Superintendent of Police, C-Branch, Ernakulam
on behalf of the respondents. It will be better to extract the
relevant portion of the above statement:
"1. The gist of the case is that the petitioners were cheated by the firm "Desam Curies and wp(Crl.)No.681/2023
investment" and the case has been registered as Cr.1322/2014 at Chengamanadu Police station. About one hundred and fourty people have been cheated in that fraud. Subsequently investigation of the case is entrusted to C-branch unit Ernakulam Rural Aluva as per the Order No.D1(a) 7104/2015 ER dated 28.05.2015 of District Police Chief Ernakulam Rural, Aluva.
2. After completing investigation, on 01.11.2018 first charge sheet of the above case was prepared and submitted before the trial court (Judicial First Class Magistrate Court Aluva-1), was not listed as calendar case till date.
3. The investigating officer submitted request for the certified copies of the documents which were submitted with in the first charge sheet of Cr.1322/2014 on 10.08.2019. But the certified copies were not issued from the trial court yet and supplemental charge sheets could not be submitted.
4. It is humbly submitted that on receipt of the certified copies of the documents filed with the first charge sheet before the trial court, the supplemental charge sheets shall be filed without delay."
wp(Crl.)No.681/2023
3. From the above it is clear that the first charge is
already submitted and the officer concerned already applied
for certified copy from the trial court for submitting the
supplementary charge sheet in the remaining 50 cases. If that
be the case, recording the above statement and directing the
Investigating Officer to do the needful immediately, this writ
petition can be closed.
Therefore, this writ petition (criminal) is disposed of
directing the Deputy Superintendent of Police, (C) Branch,
Ernakulam Rural, to expedite the steps to submit the final
report in all cases as expeditiously as possible.
