PAWAN KUMAR SINGH Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The present Public Interest Litigation has been preferred for the following prayers:--

(2.) We have heard counsel for the State, who has submitted that the petitioner has preferred this writ petition for handing over the investigation to the C.B.I. and by now the investigation has already been handed over to the C.B.I. It is further submitted by the counsel for the State that the father of the deceased-girls is already a vigilant party, who has lodged a First Information Report and complaint and upon proper representation, the case has already been handed over to the C.B.I. and monitoring of the investigation may not be done by this Court because the investigation is still going on and therefore, to find out a fault at this stage in the investigation would be premature. Moreover, the Annexures-1, 2 & 3 which are annexed are part of the case which is under investigation and how they came in custody of the petitioner, is also not reflected in the writ petition. This writ petition is based upon the documents, whose custody has not been properly explained by this petitioner, may not be allowed to be referred by this Court. The photograph of the two girls and other documents are not in the official custody of the petitioner and therefore, this writ petition may not be entertained by this Court.

(3.) Having heard the counsel for both the sides and looking to facts and circumstances of the case, we see no reason to entertain this writ petition, mainly for the following reasons:--
