JUDGMENT
The grievance of the petitioner, who is the accused in Crime
62 of 2008 of Kayamkulam Police Station is that no proper
investigation has been conducted before the final report was filed
against him. The learned Government Pleader after taking
instructions reports that the respondents have now taken
necessary action. Further investigation under Section 173(8)
Cr.P.C has already been ordered under Exhibit-R3(a) order. The
needful shall be done to get a proper further investigation
conducted. A proper further report under Section 173(8) Cr.P.C
shall be submitted expeditiously, reports the learned Government
Pleader.
2. In the light of the statements filed by the respondent,
the document produced and the submissions made by the learned
Government Pleader, I am satisfied that no further directions are
necessary in this Writ Petition now, the grievance of the petitioner
having subsequently been redressed by the subsequent action
taken.
W.P(C).No.5040 of 2008 2
3. This Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed now as
unnecessary, but making it clear that the petitioner’s option to
seek further directions, in accordance with law under Section 156
(3) Cr.P.C, shall remain unfettered if a proper investigation is not
conducted.
(R.BASANT, JUDGE)
