    Petitioner is Circle Inspector of Police,<\/p>\n
Kottayam.  He was promoted as Circle Inspector<\/p>\n
of Police on 28.6.2004 and posted as Circle<\/p>\n
Inspector of Police, Mannarcaud.     He was in<\/p>\n
charge of   investigation in Crime 68\/2004 of<\/p>\n
Sholayur police station for the day. It was<\/p>\n
subsequently investigated by T.Raman     Circle<\/p>\n
Inspector of Police, Agali.  It was the  Circle<\/p>\n
Inspector   Mr.Raman    who    completed    the<\/p>\n
investigation and laid the charge against the<\/p>\n
accused for the offence under section 302 read<\/p>\n
with section 201 of Indian Penal Code.  Accused<\/p>\n
was tried by     Sessions Court, Palaghat in<\/p>\n
S.C.100\/2006. Under Annexure 1 judgment dated<\/p>\n
27.11.2006,   accused was found not guilty and<\/p>\n
was acquitted.  Petitioner was examined as PW11<\/p>\n
Crl.M.C.1212 \/2009            2<\/span><\/p>\n
and Circle Inspector Mr.Raman as PW12.           In the<\/p>\n
order of acquittal learned Sessions Judge passed<\/p>\n
some adverse remarks against PW11 and PW12.         This<\/p>\n
petition is filed under section 482 of          Code of<\/p>\n
Criminal Procedure to quash the adverse remarks as<\/p>\n
against the petitioner in paragraph 39 of the<\/p>\n
judgment.        In paragraph 39 of the judgment learned<\/p>\n
Sessions Judge remarked that there was no earnest<\/p>\n
attempt on the part of the Investigating Officers,<\/p>\n
PW11 and PW12, to properly investigate the case.<\/p>\n
It is stated that when examined as PW11 petitioner<\/p>\n
deposed that he arrested the accused and at that<\/p>\n
time accused was wearing the same trousers and<\/p>\n
shirt which he was worn at the time of occurrence<\/p>\n
and he had seized the dresses under Ext.P11 mahazar<\/p>\n
but he did not take care to produce them          before<\/p>\n
the court and he did not forward them to the<\/p>\n
Forensic Science Laboratory for examination also.<\/p>\n
Learned Sessions Judge also found that PW12 who<\/p>\n
took     over     the investigation  did  not  make  any<\/p>\n
Crl.M.C.1212 \/2009           3<\/span><\/p>\n
attempt to trace them and produce them before court<\/p>\n
and his evidence revealed that PW12 did not find<\/p>\n
any entry with regard to the dresses in the thondi<\/p>\n
register kept at the Police Station.        In view of<\/p>\n
the said findings learned Sessions Judge remarked<\/p>\n
that even while PW11 and 12 knew that the wearing<\/p>\n
apparels of the accused are material piece of<\/p>\n
evidence, for reasons best known to them, they      did<\/p>\n
not produce the same before court and this kind of<\/p>\n
indifference, inefficiency and callousness are not<\/p>\n
expected from an experienced police officers and<\/p>\n
these      point out    the lack of proper supervision<\/p>\n
from the high-ups.\n<\/p>\n
      2.     The grievance of the petitioner is that he<\/p>\n
was in charge of the investigation only for two<\/p>\n
days and after he arrested the accused and seized<\/p>\n
his dresses under Ext.P11 mahazar, the material<\/p>\n
objects were        entrusted to the Sub Inspector of<\/p>\n
Sholayur Police Station with a direction to produce<\/p>\n
them      before the     Investigating Officer and the<\/p>\n
Crl.M.C.1212 \/2009             4<\/span><\/p>\n
adverse remarks passed against him are unwarranted<\/p>\n
and passed without granting opportunity to offer<\/p>\n
his explanation and if at all it is for PW12 the<\/p>\n
subsequent Investigating Officer to direct the Sub<\/p>\n
Inpector        to  produce  the   dresses  seized  under<\/p>\n
Ext.P11       and   in  such  circumstance,  the  adverse<\/p>\n
remarks       as   against  the  petitioner  are   to be<\/p>\n
quashed.        Petitioner has also a case that pursuant<\/p>\n
to the remarks, Annexure V disciplinary proceedings<\/p>\n
was initiated against him and it is also to be<\/p>\n
quashed.\n<\/p>\n
      3.          Learned  counsel   appearing  for   the<\/p>\n
petitioner        and  learned   Public  Prosecutor  were<\/p>\n
heard.\n<\/p>\n
      4.          Adv.Sri.Vijayabhanu,  learned   counsel<\/p>\n
appearing for petitioner submitted that Ext.P11<\/p>\n
seizure mahazar show that the dresses worn by the<\/p>\n
accused were seized by the petitioner and pages 58<\/p>\n
to 60 of the Case Diary shows that petitioner had<\/p>\n
entrusted the dresses seized under Ext.P11 to the<\/p>\n
Crl.M.C.1212 \/2009            5<\/span><\/p>\n
Sub Inspector of Police, Sholayur with a direction<\/p>\n
to produce them before the Investigating Officer<\/p>\n
and      as     petitioner  was   in   charge   of   the<\/p>\n
investigation only for two days, it is not for the<\/p>\n
petitioner to produce them before the court and it<\/p>\n
was for        the subsequent Investigating Officer, who<\/p>\n
was examined as PW12        to direct the Sub Inspector<\/p>\n
of Police to produce the material objects seized<\/p>\n
under Ext.P11 when it is recorded           in the Case<\/p>\n
Diary     that    they  were  entrusted   with  the  Sub<\/p>\n
Inspector         and in any circumstance the adverse<\/p>\n
remarks       passed  against  the   petitioner  without<\/p>\n
hearing him       are unwarranted and are to be quashed.<\/p>\n
      5.     Learned Public Prosecutor on verifying the<\/p>\n
records submitted that the Case Diary contains<\/p>\n
specific entry to the effect that the dresses<\/p>\n
seized from the accused under Ext.P11 mahazar were<\/p>\n
entrusted to the Sub Inspector of Police, Sholayur.<\/p>\n
In such circumstance, petitioner, who was in charge<\/p>\n
of the investigation only for two days, cannot be<\/p>\n
Crl.M.C.1212 \/2009          6<\/span><\/p>\n
found to be negligent in the investigation.        The<\/p>\n
case could have been different if the subsequent<\/p>\n
Investigating Officer directed the Sub Inspector of<\/p>\n
Police who was entrusted with the material seized<\/p>\n
from the accused under Ext.P11,      as seen from the<\/p>\n
Case Diary, to produce them and he reported that he<\/p>\n
did not get possession of the material objects.<\/p>\n
When PW12 has no case that he did not ask the Sub<\/p>\n
Inspector to produce the material objects seized<\/p>\n
under Ext.P11 or that      they are not available with<\/p>\n
the Sub Inspector,     petitioner who was in charge of<\/p>\n
the investigation only for two days cannot be held<\/p>\n
liable      for   the  negligence  or  laches  in  the<\/p>\n
investigation. Learned Sessions Judge unfortunately<\/p>\n
did not consider this aspect while passing the<\/p>\n
adverse remarks       against the petitioner who was<\/p>\n
examined as PW11.\n<\/p>\n
      6. Learned counsel made available   copy of the<\/p>\n
deposition of PW11.     It  is  seen  that  in   chief<\/p>\n
examination itself PW11 had deposed that he had<\/p>\n
Crl.M.C.1212 \/2009             7<\/span><\/p>\n
seized the dresses,viz., the           trousers and the<\/p>\n
shirt worn by the accused at the time of arrest,<\/p>\n
which are stated to be worn by the accused at the<\/p>\n
time of the         occurrence,   under Ext.P11 mahazar.<\/p>\n
He was not cross examined with regard to the<\/p>\n
custody of the          dresses seized under Ext.P11 or<\/p>\n
their non production.            PW11 was not given an<\/p>\n
opportunity to explain why he did not produce the<\/p>\n
material objects seized under Ext.P11 before the<\/p>\n
court      or     before  the  subsequent   Investigating<\/p>\n
Officer.       Learned counsel also pointed out that the<\/p>\n
concerned Sub Inspector when       examined as PW9    was<\/p>\n
also not asked about the custody of the dresses<\/p>\n
seized by the petitioner under Ext.P11 or the<\/p>\n
material objects entrusted to him as shown        in the<\/p>\n
Case Diary.        In such circumstance, learned Sessions<\/p>\n
Judge was not justified in passing adverse remarks<\/p>\n
as against the petitioner as       seen in   paragraph 39<\/p>\n
of the judgment.          As these adverse remarks were<\/p>\n
passed        without   granting   opportunity   to   the<\/p>\n
Crl.M.C.1212 \/2009           8<\/span><\/p>\n
petitioner and are against the factual position,<\/p>\n
the adverse remarks as against the petitioner in<\/p>\n
paragraph 39 of Annexure 1 judgment are quashed.<\/p>\n
      7. Annexure V order shows that       disciplinary<\/p>\n
proceedings was      initiated against petitioner  only<\/p>\n
on account of the adverse remarks in Annexure 1<\/p>\n
judgment against him.       In view of the quashing of<\/p>\n
the adverse remarks against the petitioner           in<\/p>\n
Annexure        1  judgment, Annexure   5   proceedings<\/p>\n
initiated pursuant to the adverse remarks            as<\/p>\n
against the petitioner is also quashed.<\/p>\n
