JUDGMENT
The petitioner's brother and mother namely Paul
Jeevan Job and A.P. Mary expired on 19.5.2023 and
13.08.2023 respectively allegedly on suspicious
circumstances. The 6th respondent is the wife of Paul Jeevan
Job and the additional 7th respondent is the mother of the 6th
respondent. According to the petitioner, he reasonably
apprehends that this is a case of homicide at the hands of
the respondents 6 and 7. The petitioner submitted Ext.P3
complaint before the 4th respondent to conduct proper
enquiry into the alleged unnatural death of Paul Jeevan Job
and A.P. Mary. Since no action was taken, the petitioner
gave Ext.P6 representation to the 2 nd respondent. Another
representation as Ext.P8 was also given to the 4th
respondent. According to the petitioner, no action has been
taken on his complaint or representation. It is in these
circumstances, he has approached this Court to give a
direction to the respondents 2, 4 and 5 to hand over the
complaints and all records to the Crime Branch to conduct
proper investigation.
2025:KER:3152
2. The 5 th respondent has filed a statement.
In the said statement, it is stated that a detailed enquiry
was conducted into the death of Paul Jeevan Job and A.P.
Mary and it was found that the deaths were natural. Hence,
no further action has been taken.
3. I have heard Sri. S. Sreekumar, the
learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri. P. Narayanan, the
learned Senior Public Prosecutor.
4. A perusal of the statement submitted by
the 5th respondent would show that respondents 6 and 7
were questioned. The doctors who treated the deceased
were also questioned and medical records were perused.
The sister of the petitioner and deceased were also
questioned. However, apart from the questioning of close
relatives and the doctors mentioned above and perusal of
the medical records, no further enquiry is seen conducted
and no independent persons were questioned.
Considering all these aspects, I am of the view that
Ext.P8 representation given by the petitioner before the
Commissioner of Police requires detailed enquiry. Hence,
this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the
Jurisdictional Dy.S.P to conduct a thorough enquiry on
2025:KER:3152 Ext.P8 representation. Needless to say, on such enquiry, if
the commission of cognizable offence is disclosed, the
Dy.S.P shall register a crime and proceed in accordance with
law.
