This petition has been filed, seeking to direct the 1st respondent to depute a Police Officer to register FIR on the basis of the petitioner's complaint dated 01.07.2016 in accordance with law.

2. It is the case of the petitioner that he gave a complaint dated 01.07.2016 against one Sedhu, who is said to be the 2nd husband of one Meenakshi (Thalaiyari), alleging that they are illegally mining sands from the nearby village. In this regard, there is already Public Interest Litigation pending in W.P.(MD) 14245 of 2015.

3. It is not the case of the petitioner that there has been illegal mining of sands from his land. That apart, on earlier occasion, this petitioner had given similar complaint, which was enquired into by Janakinathan / Sub-Inspector of Police and the same was closed on 23.12.2015 as false. Therefore, aggrieved by the same, the petitioner has made Janakinathan as R3. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

A copy of the closure report dated 23.12.2015 in respect of the earlier complaint has been furnished to the learned counsel for the petitioner across the bar. Hence, this petition is closed with liberty to the petitioner to work out his remedy in the manner known to law. No costs. Sd/- Assistant Registrar /True Copy/ Sub Assistant Registrar To:
