O R D E R

This petition has been filed by the petitioner for a direction to the 1st respondent to consider the representation made by the petitioner dated 14.02.2018 and to take appropriate action against the four accused persons.

It is seen from records that an FIR has already been registered by the Madukkur Police Station, Thanjavur in Crime No.133 of 2017 dated 21.06.2017, based on the complaint given by the brother in law of the deceased under section 174 of Cr.P.C. It is the grievance of the petitioner, who is the mother of the deceased, that there is absolutely no progress in the investigation and therefore a representation was made to the 1st respondent to take action against the accused persons. Since no action was taken by the 1st respondent, the present writ petition has been filed.

This Court is of the considered view that the present writ petition is not maintainable before this Court. If the petitioner is not satisfied with the manner in which the investigation is progressing in Crime No.133 of 2017, the petitioner has to seek for an appropriate remedy only by filing a petition before the High Court Bench at Madurai. An independent writ petition of this nature cannot be maintained before this Court.

This writ petition is disposed of, by giving liberty to the petitioner to move an appropriate petition seeking for transfer of investigation before the High Court Madurai bench and workout his remedy in accordance with law. No costs. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(CS VI) //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar To 1.The Director General of Police, Director General of Police Office, Kamarajar Salai, Chennai-600 004.
