Imtiyaz Murtaza J.\nHon. S.S.Tiwari, J.\n<\/pre>\n<p>                (Delivered by Hon. Imtiyaz Murtaza J.)<\/p>\n<p>      This lachrymose writ petition has been preferred by the<br \/>\nshocked uncle of a young budding officer whose career was full of<br \/>\ninfinite possibiility and pregnant with promises. The deceased at<br \/>\nthe relevant time was posted at Mahoba as Asstt. Manager in the<br \/>\nU.P. Cooperative Federation. He ended his life at age of 28 years,<br \/>\nallegedly being wearied by endlessly illicit demands of the<br \/>\nsuperiors. It is alleged that the deceased initially tried to cope with<br \/>\nthe demand despite being aghast at the rampant corruption but<br \/>\nsubsequently took the extreme step of ending his life finding<br \/>\nhimself unable to bear the load on his mind. In the suicide note,<br \/>\nthe deceased tweaked by his conscience has unburdened his mind<br \/>\nabout the rampant corruption in the department.\n<\/p>\n<p>      The grieving uncle, it would transpire, has knocked the door<br \/>\nof this Court disenchanted by the reluctance of the investigating<br \/>\nagency in extending the long arm of law to the named persons<br \/>\nwho on account of their status have managed to evade appearing<br \/>\nfor interrogation. The relief sought is for a writ of mandamus<br \/>\ncommanding the respondent 1 to transfer the investigation from<br \/>\ncivil police to any other independent investigating agency attended<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>with the relief of a writ of mandamus directing the respondents to<br \/>\nsubmit the progress report in the case.\n<\/p>\n<p>     The deceased is Syed Gyas Ahmad alias Gaus who while<br \/>\nserving at Mahoba had his residence at Kareli Allahabad and he<br \/>\nhad come back to his residence at Kareli from Mahoba on<br \/>\n3.4.2009. On 4.4.2009, he committed suicide at 11 a.m by<br \/>\nhanging himself. According to information furnished to Police<br \/>\nStation Kareli in writing by the petitioner, it was revealed that he<br \/>\nwas informed by his wife that the deceased was hanging by rope<br \/>\nwhich was tied to the peg of the ceiling of the room situated on the<br \/>\nfirst floor at C 247 G.T.B.Nagar Kareli Allahabad attended with<br \/>\ninformation that it seemed that he was dead. Upon receipt of this<br \/>\ninformation, the petitioner immediately rushed to the scene of<br \/>\noccurrence where he saw his nephew hanging with ropes tied<br \/>\naround his neck. The police upon reaching the scene of occurrence,<br \/>\nloosened the rope and took the body down and necessary<br \/>\nformalities were undertaken and completed. According to the<br \/>\nreport prepared by Sub Inspector, the search of the body yielded a<br \/>\npiece of paper the contents of which were read in the presence of<br \/>\nfamily members of the deceased and the people who had collected<br \/>\non the spot. Thereafter, it would transpire from the record, the<br \/>\nbody was sent for post mortem which was conducted on 4.4.2009<br \/>\nat 4.30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>     On 4.4.2009, a written application was made to Senior Supdt<br \/>\nof Police Allahabad by the petitioner the quintessence of which is<br \/>\nthat his nephew used to lament that his seniors who were named<br \/>\nby their designation namely, Managing Director, Managing Director<br \/>\n(Administration) and Regional Manager (who are arrayed as<br \/>\nrespondents 5 to 7 in this petition) had been exerting pressure and<br \/>\ndemanding money studded with threat to place him under<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>suspension in case of his failure to arrange money for them. It is<br \/>\nalso mentioned that his nephew had come to him at NOIDA in the<br \/>\nlast month and discussed with him the problem stating that Distt<br \/>\nMagistrate Mahoba had made a telephonic call and demanded to<br \/>\narrange for one bag of sugar for use in the marriage of his orderly.<br \/>\nThe deceased, it is alleged, had to meet the demand by paying a<br \/>\nsum of Rs. 2400\/- out of his own packet. It is further alleged that<br \/>\non 29.3.2009 when the petitioner rang up the deceased, he<br \/>\nappeared perturbed and told him on phone that his superiors were<br \/>\ndemanding to rake up Rs. 10,000\/- immediately attended with<br \/>\ninformation that in case his failed to meet the demand, they would<br \/>\nspoil their career. The deceased further disclosed to the petitioner<br \/>\nthat within a span of seven months, he had to pay Rs. 35,000\/- to<br \/>\nthe Distt Magistrate Mahoba and other superior officers out of his<br \/>\nown packet and a sum of Rs. 13,000\/- was collected from the<br \/>\nsubordinate officials. It was also informed that his superiors were<br \/>\ndemanding Rs. 150\/- per quintal in the ensuing purchase of wheat.<br \/>\nTo the similar effect is the application made by the mother of the<br \/>\npetitioner addressed to D.I.G. Zone Allahabad.\n<\/p>\n<p>     The suicide note left behind by the deceased, to rephrase it,<br \/>\nwould agreeably read studded with prologue sentence &#8220;I have<br \/>\ngiven a serious thought but I am at a loss to understand (how to<br \/>\ndeal with the situation). I have come to such a pass in my longing<br \/>\nto acquire a government job that I can neither abandon the job<br \/>\nnor can keep up with the job. I am being called on phone from the<br \/>\nHeadquarters pressurizing to arrange for money. Where-from<br \/>\nshould I arrange for money, they are not concerned with, whether<br \/>\nI should indulge in pilferage or misappropriation. I dread I may not<br \/>\nget trapped in criminal case which may result in lodging of F.IR by<br \/>\nlocal administration. I am not inclined to indulge in any such<br \/>\nactivities. I have already collected and paid an amount to the tune<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>of   Rs.   48000\/-   to   the   Managing   Director,   A.M.D   ,   G.M.<br \/>\n(Administration) out of which certain amount was collected from<br \/>\nthe office. Out of my total salary of Rs. 12000\/- out of which on an<br \/>\naverage a sum of Rs. 5000\/- goes to the pocket of the authorities.<br \/>\nI can understand that people would blame me that I could not<br \/>\ncope with the government job in case I decide to abandon the job.<br \/>\nI am fed up with the rampant corruption in the P.C.F and being<br \/>\nunable to cope with it, I am committing suicide. My last will is that<br \/>\nwhatever is available in my fund, the same should be disbursed to<br \/>\nmy younger brother Mohd. Sufiyan. The note further mentions that<br \/>\nin case demand of headquarters is not met, he is being threatened<br \/>\nwith tarnishing his character roll attended with the threat to<br \/>\nsuspend him.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>      We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and also<br \/>\nlearned counsel appearing for the State. We have also perused the<br \/>\nrecord and the police papers.\n<\/p>\n<p>      The prayer quintessentially made in this petition is for<br \/>\ntransfer of investigation to another agency as the local police it is<br \/>\nalleged, has wilted under pressure elaborating that the accused<br \/>\nherein are highly placed bureaucrats and have enough clout in the<br \/>\ncorridors of powers and those at the helm of affairs in the corridor<br \/>\nof powers that be, are interfering in the fair investigation from<br \/>\nbehind the curtains. It is further alleged that the suicide note is a<br \/>\nversion of dying man who cannot tell a lie when he himself was<br \/>\nending his life. It is further submitted that the accused persons<br \/>\nhave continued to evade the captivity and despite there being no<br \/>\nquestioning from any of the accused, the police still submitted the<br \/>\nfinal report without any valid basis. It is further alleged that the<br \/>\ndeceased was very upright and had joined the service with certain<br \/>\nhopes and expectations of serving the public but his dreams were<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>shattered by the corruption rampant in the department. It is also<br \/>\nargued that the pressure on local police is writ large from the very<br \/>\ninception and the police has, from the very inception, attempting<br \/>\nto close the chapter by filing final report but could not do initially<br \/>\non account of interference by this Court by which the Court was<br \/>\npleased to direct change of investigating officer but it only delayed<br \/>\nsubmission of the final report and it was owing to pressure from<br \/>\nthe higher ups the police has again filed final report.\n<\/p>\n<p>     Per contra, Sri S.G.A. Hasnain, Additional Advocate General<br \/>\nappearing for the State of U.P vehemently argued that the<br \/>\ninvestigation has been conducted by the police strictly according to<br \/>\nthe provisions of the Cr.P.C. and the final report has been<br \/>\nsubmitted before the Special Judge and it is none of the business<br \/>\nof any of the person to canvass its validity in the jurisdiction of this<br \/>\nCourt under Article 226 of the Constitution of India nor can this<br \/>\nHon. Court interfere therein. The next argument advanced across<br \/>\nthe bar is that it is the Magistrate who is empowered under section<br \/>\n156 (3) Cr.P.C to direct or redirect the investigating agency to<br \/>\nmake proper and fair investigation and monitor the investigation.<br \/>\nThe next submission is that after filing of the final report or charge<br \/>\nsheet as the case may be it lies within the power of the Magistrate<br \/>\nwho can go into the question whether investigation is fair or not<br \/>\nand whether certain aspect or certain relevant facts or statements<br \/>\nhave or have not been touched upon in the investigation. It is<br \/>\nfurther argued that if any party is aggrieved by the order of the<br \/>\nMagistrate, he can canvass the validity of the order under section<br \/>\n482 Cr.P.C or under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.\n<\/p>\n<p>     The investigating officer who holds the office of Circle officer<br \/>\npolice, has filed affidavit sworn by him in which he has clearly<br \/>\nstated that he has conducted investigation in utmost fair manner<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>and he also interrogated various employees and officials of the<br \/>\ndepartment and none of them testified to the demand of money by<br \/>\nhigher officers or parting with money out of his own salary for<br \/>\nbeing pocketed by the higher officers. He also stated that the<br \/>\ndemand of illegal gratification has been propped up by the family<br \/>\nmembers and family friends of the deceased. He has also referred<br \/>\nto various calls made by the officers to the deceased. Both on<br \/>\nmobile and land line which according to the investigating officer<br \/>\nrelated to a period three months prior to the suicide by the<br \/>\ndeceased. In para 10, the investigating officer has stated that the<br \/>\ndeceased except making allegations in the suicide note, is not<br \/>\nfound to have made any complaint against any of the officers of<br \/>\nthe department. He also stated that in the course of investigation,<br \/>\nhe interrogated 70 persons in all. It is nowhere stated that accused<br \/>\npersons were also interrogated in connection with the allegation of<br \/>\ndemand as alleged in the suicide note. He also referred to the<br \/>\namount in deposit which was to the tune of Rs. 50,000\/- in the<br \/>\nBank account of the deceased and the point urged is that the<br \/>\ndeceased did not disclose in the suicide note as to from where he<br \/>\ngratified the so-called illegal demand of the officers of the<br \/>\ndepartment. The suicide note is the last words uttered by the<br \/>\ndeceased and it cannot be taken to be a chronicle of the<br \/>\nexhaustive details nor can it be a catalogue of everything including<br \/>\nminor particulars. In para 14, he refers to application dated<br \/>\n4.4.2009 made in the aftermath of the suicide and it is stated that<br \/>\nthe allegations contained in the said application were also taken<br \/>\ninto consideration in the course of investigation but no evidence to<br \/>\nprop up those allegations is forthcoming. It is nowhere stated that<br \/>\nthe   accused   persons   named   in   the   F.I.R   have   also   been<br \/>\ninterrogated in the course of investigation by the Investigating<br \/>\nofficer.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     From the facts on record, and also from the various affidavits<br \/>\nincluding the affidavit of the investigating officer, the substance of<br \/>\nwhat can be gleaned is that no evidence about illegal demand by<br \/>\nthe officers is forthcoming but at the same time, the element of<br \/>\nabetment would clearly transpire from the facts on record.\n<\/p>\n<p>     One of the arguments advanced across the bar is that the<br \/>\nHigh Court has no power to direct investigation by the C.B.I and to<br \/>\nprop up his submission, he has elaborately cited the provisions of<br \/>\nthe Cr.P.C dwelling upon the powers of the Magistrate. Suffice it to<br \/>\nsay without burdening the judgment with copies decisions on the<br \/>\npoint that it must be remembered the jurisdiction assigned to High<br \/>\nCourt under Article 226 is the extra ordinary jurisdiction. The Court<br \/>\ntherefore has powers apart from express provisions of law which<br \/>\nare necessary for proper discharge of functions and duties imposed<br \/>\nby law. Such inherent or extra ordinary jurisdiction are intended to<br \/>\nbe exercised to do the right and to undo a wrong in course of<br \/>\nadministration of justice on the principle &#8220;quando lex aliauid<br \/>\nalicui concedit concedere videtur et id sine quo res ipsae<br \/>\nesse non potest&#8221; (where the law gives a person anything it gives<br \/>\nhim that without which it cannot exist). It must also be<br \/>\nremembered that this Court under Article 226 does not function as<br \/>\na court of appeal or revision but has to exercise powers ex debito<br \/>\njustitiae to do real and substantial justice for the administration of<br \/>\nwhich alone court exists. In Civil Appeal Nos. 6249-6250 of<br \/>\n2001 State of West Bengal and others v. The Committee for<br \/>\nProtection of Democratic Rights, West Bengal and others,<br \/>\nthe Apex Court in para 35 observed as under:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>           &#8220;As regards the power of judicial review conferred<br \/>\n           on the High Court, undoubtedly they are, in a<br \/>\n           way, wider in scope. The High Courts are<br \/>\n           authorized under Article 226 of the Constitution,<br \/>\n           to issue directions, orders or writs to any person<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   8<\/span><\/p>\n<p>           or authority, including any government to enforce<br \/>\n           fundamental rights and &#8220;for any other purpose:.It<br \/>\n           is manifest from the difference in the phraseology<br \/>\n           of Articles 32 and 226 of the Constitution that<br \/>\n           there is a marked difference in the nature and<br \/>\n           purpose of the right conferred by these two<br \/>\n           Articles. Whereas the right guaranteed by Article<br \/>\n           32 can be exercised only for the enforcement of<br \/>\n           fundamental rights conferred by Part III of the<br \/>\n           Constitution, the right conferred by Article 226<br \/>\n           can be exercised not only for the enforcement of<br \/>\n           fundamental rights, but &#8220;for any other purpose&#8221;<br \/>\n           as well i.e. for enforcement of any legal right<br \/>\n           conferred by a Statute etc. &#8220;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>     The next argument relates to the powers of the Magistrate as<br \/>\ndiscussed above. Coming to the facts on record the genesis of the<br \/>\ncase is the suicide note. There is no gainsaying that it is open to<br \/>\nan aggrieved person to exercise his legal right by filing the protest<br \/>\npetition in case, he nurtures grievance that the investigation<br \/>\nconducted by the police is not fair. As quoted above, the suicide<br \/>\nnote without mincing words refers to the background in which the<br \/>\ndeceased took the extreme step of taking away his own life by<br \/>\ncommitting suicide. The deceased has named the accused persons<br \/>\nby designation. Ex-facie, the suicide note unequivocally refers to<br \/>\nthe acts of the accused and the roles played by them which<br \/>\nultimately led the deceased for taking extreme steps of taking<br \/>\naway his life by committing suicide. It is again argued that it<br \/>\nleaves no manner of doubt from the record that the police has not<br \/>\ninterrogated any of the accused at any point of time. However,<br \/>\naccording to the own submission of learned Addl. Advocate<br \/>\nGeneral, all these aspects have to be looked into by the Special<br \/>\nJudge where the final report has been submitted. The learned<br \/>\nAdditional Advocate General admitting the legal position has also<br \/>\nadvanced the submission that even if the police files final report, it<br \/>\nis the duty of the Magistrate to take appropriate action thereon. It<br \/>\nis also admitted that the Magistrate would initially issue notice to<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  9<\/span><\/p>\n<p>aggrieved person who is at liberty to file protest petition<br \/>\ncanvassing the shortcomings if any, of the investigation.\n<\/p>\n<p>     From a perusal of the materials on record and also from a<br \/>\nclose scrutiny of the submissions advanced across the bar, the<br \/>\nposition that is distilled and worthy of notice is that the F.I.R<br \/>\ninitially was registered under section 306 IPC and section 7 of the<br \/>\nPrevention of Corruption Act was subsequently added. If the facts<br \/>\non record are literally taken at its face value, it is not the case<br \/>\nwhere provisions of section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act is<br \/>\nattracted. Learned Addl. Advocate General has also conceded that<br \/>\nfrom a perusal of the suicide note, the ingredients of Prevention of<br \/>\nCorruption Act are not disclosed or made out. The counsel for the<br \/>\npetitioner emphatically stated that the perusal of suicide note<br \/>\nattracts the provisions of section 384 IPC. The Section 384 IPC<br \/>\nbeing germane to the issue involved in this case is abstracted<br \/>\nbelow.\n<\/p>\n<p>           &#8220;384.     Punishment        for   extortion-\n<\/p>\n<p>           Whoever commits extortion shall be<br \/>\n           punished with imprisonment of either<br \/>\n           description for a term which may extend to<br \/>\n           three years, or with fine, or with both.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>     It is stated across the bar by the learned Counsel appearing<br \/>\nfor the State that the final report has been submitted by the police<br \/>\nbefore the Special Judge (Prevention of Corruption Act). On being<br \/>\nconfronted and on adverting his attention to his submissions that<br \/>\nthe ingredients of offence under the Prevention of Corruption Act<br \/>\nare not disclosed, he evaded a direct reply on this crucial aspect.<br \/>\nHaving considered the materials on record, we too are of the<br \/>\nopinion that if no offence under the Prevention of Corruption Act is<br \/>\nfound to have been    made out, the police should have filed the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    10<\/span><\/p>\n<p>final report before the learned Magistrate concerned and not<br \/>\nbefore the Special Judge (P. C. Act) inasmuch as cognizance, if at<br \/>\nall required, pursuant to the final Report in the absence of<br \/>\nsanction for prosecution cannot be taken by the Special Judge. Yet<br \/>\nanother aspect to be taken into reckoning is that as conceded by<br \/>\nthe learned Addl. Advocate General that ingredients of Prevention<br \/>\nof Corruption act are not attracted, by this reckoning, the Special<br \/>\nJudge cannot take cognizance under section 306 or section 384<br \/>\nIPC. In elucidating this position, we may refer to section 28 of the<br \/>\nPrevention of Corruption Act and it being relevant, is excerpted<br \/>\nbelow.\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>           &#8220;28. Act to be in addition to any other law:- The<br \/>\n           provisions of this Act shall be in addition to, and not in<br \/>\n           derogation of any other law for the time being in force,<br \/>\n           and nothing contained herein shall exempt any public<br \/>\n           servant from any proceeding which might, apart from<br \/>\n           this Act, be instituted against him.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>     The position as summed up by above discussion, boils down<br \/>\nas under that the suicide note clearly refers to the acts of the<br \/>\naccused and th roles played by them and further that from a<br \/>\nperusal of the suicide note is attracted the ingredients of section<br \/>\n384 IPC and also that as conceded by the Addl. Advocate General,<br \/>\nthe provisions of Prevention of Corruption act are not attracted and<br \/>\nin this view of the matter, the final report has necessarily to be<br \/>\nfiled before the Magistrate.\n<\/p>\n<p>     In the facts and circumstances of the case, without delving<br \/>\ninto the merits of the argument whether submission of final report<br \/>\nin the matter by the police is justified or not, and whether it is a fit<br \/>\ncase for being referred to any other agency for investigation afresh<br \/>\nor not, the petition is disposed of with the direction that the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  11<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Special Judge shall return the final report for re-presentation to<br \/>\nthe appropriate court or the prosecuting agency shall withdraw<br \/>\nFinal report filed in the Court of Special Judge (P. C. Act) and file<br \/>\nthe same anew before the Magistrate concerned within 30 days<br \/>\nfrom today. The Magistrate will pass appropriate orders in<br \/>\naccordance with law however without being influenced by any of<br \/>\nthe observations made in the body of this judgment.\n<\/p>\n<p>     The petition is disposed of finally in terms of the above<br \/>\norders.\n<\/p>\n<p>MH<br \/>\nMay 10&#8230;..2010.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Allahabad High Court Syed Qamar Ahmad vs State Of U.P. &amp; Others on 10 May, 2010 1 RESERVED Criminal Misc.
