2. J.Ravisankar ... Respondents Petition filed under Article 226 of The Constitution of India praying to issue a writ of mandamus thereby directing the 1st respondent to pass orders on complaint given by the petitioner dated 23.04.2013 and submit the report to the petitioner herein and take appropriate action against the 2nd respondent. For Petitioner : Mrs.N.Malathi For Respondents: Mr.S.Govindasamy, Additional Government Pleader - R1

O R D E R

Admittedly, the private complaint is maintainable for the offence under Section 494 of the Indian Penal Code as seen from the averments made in the affidavit filed in support of the Writ Petition and as per the representation given by the petitioner. There is nothing on record to show that the 1st respondent has no jurisdiction to look into the complaint.

2.The Writ Petition is disposed of giving liberty to the petitioner to give a private complaint before the Jurisdictional Magistrate, if so advised. No costs.
