STATE Vs. K V RAJENDRAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS is an application filed by one Mr.Martin, Deputy Superintendent of Police, SBCID, Headquarters, Chennai, in Crl.M.P.No.3713 of 2001 seeking for modification of the order passed by this Court in Crl.O.P.No.29352 of 1998 directing for registration and investigation by the D.S.P., CB CID, Nagapattinam, instead of the D.S.P., SB CID, Nagapattinam.

(2.) THIS case has got a chequered history. Before considering the issue raised in this matter let us look into the chronological events:

(3.) ACCORDING to Mr.Martin, D.S.P., SB CID, Head Quarters, though the order was passed on 1.3.2001, he received the order copy only on 1.6.2001. Thereafter, he filed an application on 15.6.2001 before this Court to seek for modification on the ground that D.S.P., SB CID posts were abolished as per the orders dated 17.5.2000 and as per Rule 57 of the Manual of Instructions for State Special Branch, SB CID Officers are not to conduct the investigation of cases. Thus, it is clear that the order passed by the SB CID, Nagapattinam, was forwarded to the D.S.P, SB CID, Head Quarters, Chennai for further action.
