Postal representation addressed to the Superintendent of Police for issuing Not Tracing Certificate could not be proceeded further, since the petitioner herein has not appeared in person to furnish particulars to probe into the trail of the lost document.

2.

However, the petitioner instead of participating in the enquiry on her complaint had approached the Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking direction without substantiate the content of the complaint regarding the possession of the documents and for manner in which got lost. The petitioner cannot expect the Court to issue direction for a Non Traceable Certificate which will have serious civil consequence. Any certificate issued without proper investigation will lead to multiplicity of other proceedings. Hence the prayer of this nature cannot be entertained under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. 3.

In view of the above, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed accordingly.
