For the State : Mr. Sahbaj Akhtar, A.C. to A.A.G.-III. For the CBI : Mr. Amit Kr. Das, Advocate. --------- 04/Dated: 30.07.2025 1. The instant W.P.(PIL) has been filed for grant of the following substantive relief:- “For issuance of an appropriate writ/Rule/order/ direction calling upon the respondents to show cause as to what actions have been taken by the respondent no. 1 to 5 in view of the complaint dated 04.12.2023 filed by the petitioner. AND/OR For issuance of a writ/order(s)/direction(s) in the nature of mandamus commanding upon the respondents to lodge FIR against the respondent no. 8 along with other persons/officials who are found involved in commission of embezzlement of public money. AND/OR To direct the respondent no. 6 and 7 to lodge a case and thoroughly investigate the matter regarding the scam 2025:JHHC:21378-DB committed by the respondent no. 8 along with other persons/officials found involved in the commission embezzlement of public money.” 2. Clearly, this W.P. (PIL) is totally misconceived as there is no law under which the respondents are obliged to answer to the contents of the complaint that was lodged by the petitioner on 04.12.2023. In case the petitioner is aggrieved by some action of the respondents then its remedy lies elsewhere and not by way of the instant writ petition. 3. Consequently, the instant W.P. (PIL) stands dismissed in limine. Pending Application, if any, stands disposed of. (Tarlok Singh Chauhan, C.J.) (Sujit Narayan Prasad, J.) APK/VK
