Samraj v. The Superintendent of Police

O R D E R

This criminal original petition has been filed seeking transfer of investigation on the complaint made by the petitioner dated 28.02.2023 from the file of the second respondent to the file of third respondent or any other investigating Officer not below the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police.

2.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit that enquiry is pending before the second respondent and the petitioner has appeared before the respondent police for enquiry only on 26.03.2023.

3.Not even seven days is over from his date of appearance before the respondent. Immediately, he filed this petition stating that the enquiry has not been undertaken by the respondent. Such sort of activity of the petitioner is clearly abuse of process of the Court and law. I find absolutely no reason to interfere with the enquiry process undertaken by the respondent police. This petition deserves to be dismissed.

4.Accordingly, this criminal original petition is dismissed.
