O R D E R

The petitioner has made a request for conducting demonstration on 06.05.2025 at Mukkoottusalai, Mudukkur, Thanjavur District, based on his representation, dated 02.05.2025, that the respondent police has not conducted the investigation in Crime No.162 of 2025 in a proper manner. The respondent police has rejected the request of this petitioner, by his order in Na.Ka.No. 28/G4PS/2025 dated 17.05.2025. Aggrieved over the same, the petitioner is before this Court.

2.In the event, if the respondent police has not conducted the investigation in a proper manner, the 2/5

petitioner/defacto complainant is having a remedy before this Court as well as before the Magistrate Court. Instead of invoking the available remedy, this petitioner is attempting to show his strength by conducting a protest. This Court is of the view that the respondent police has rightly rejected the request of this petitioner for conducting a demonstration and therefore, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the order of the respondent police. 3.Investigation is a process of finding out the truth and the respondent police are duty bound to conduct the investigation without giving any room for suspicion in the process of investigation. With the hope that the investigation in Crime No.162 of 2025 would be conducted in a proper manner, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
