JUDGMENT
The petitioner is the mother-in-law of the deceased, one
Kshemakumar. He allegedly met with his unnatural death
consequent to an accident on 14/1/06. A crime was
registered under Sec.174 of the Cr.P.C. Investigation was in
progress. Ext.P9 report has been submitted by the
Investigating Officer. It has not accepted so far.
2. The petitioner has come to this Court with a prayer
that directions may be issued for the conduct of a proper and
efficient investigation in the matter.
3. Notice was given. The learned Public Prosecutor
has entered appearance for the respondents. The 6th
respondent has filed a statement to which Ext.R6(a) is
appended which shows that the Superintendent of Police,
Ernakulam (Rural) has directed that the Deputy
Superintendent of Police, Narcotic Cell, Ernakulam Rural
(Aluva) shall take over the investigation.
W.P.(C) NO. 2832 OF 2007-K -: 2 :-
4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in
view of the said order, the petitioner has no surviving grievance.
The petitioner bona fide expects that a proper investigation shall
be conducted as directed by the 4th respondent. In these
circumstances, no further directions are necessary in the
matter, submits the learned counsel for the petitioner.
5. Advocate Mr. K.B. Suresh on behalf of one Mohankumar
against whom the petitioner appears to have raised allegations
wants to come on record. The learned counsel submits that his
client also welcomes a thorough, complete and proper
investigation in the matter. Baseless allegations have been
raised against him, it is submitted.
6. Inasmuch as the 4th respondent has already taken
necessary action in the matter, I am satisfied that no further
directions are to be issued in the matter. Proper investigation in
accordance with law shall be conducted by the officer who has
been directed under Ext.R2(a) to take up the investigation.
7. With the above observations, this writ petition is
dismissed.
