Respondent(s) For Petitioner : Mr. Dhiraj Kumar Wankhede, Advocate. For Respondents/State : Mr. S.S. Baghel, Dy. G.A. Hon'ble Shri Ramesh Sinha, Chief Justice Hon'ble Shri Bibhu Datta Guru, Judge 3 Order on Board Per Ramesh Sinha , Chief Justice 11.07.2025 1. Heard Mr. Dhiraj Kumar Wankhede, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. S.S. Baghel, Dy. G.A. appearing for the State. 2. The present writ petition has been filed by the petitioner with the following prayers: “(I0.1) 10.1) The Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to issue the appropriate writ/writs, order/orders, direction/ directions to police department to conclude the inquiry in fair manner; 10.2) The Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to issue appropriate writ/writs, order/orders, direction/ directions to police authority to arrest the private accused respondents; 10.3) The Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to issue appropriate writ/writs, order/orders, direction/ directions to respondent authorities to decide the complaint and representations filed by the Petitioners; 10.4) Grant any such other relief in favour of petitioners as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit in the interest of Justice.” 3. The present writ petition is not filed against any particular order but preferred against the inaction on part of the Respondent authorities, 4 who are deliberately not taking any efforts in arresting the Private Respondent persons named in FIR No. 114/2025, registered at Police Station, Pali, though the anticipatory bail application bearing MCRCA No. 672 of 2025 has been rejected vide order dated 08.05.2025 and the Police are not conducting the fair investigation in the case, despite multiple representations made by the Petitioners before the concerned Station House Officer, no effective action has been taken. The apathy and indifference of the concerned Respondent Police is such that till date they have neither seized the weapon used in the crime (which is an essential piece of evidence in the case) nor the vehicle allegedly involved, another quintessential evidence in the case. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioners are family members of the deceased who died unnatural death. He further submits that the petitioners have also filed representations before the higher officers of police to initiate fair enquiry so they can get justice but till date the representations are pending. He further submits that after investigation the closure report has been submitted by the investigating agency and hence the petitioners have come before this court for fair investigation. 5. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner and submits that proper investigation has been carried out. 6. We have heard learned counsel for the parties, considered their rival submissions made hereinabove and also went through the records 5 with utmost circumspection. 7. From perusal of the records, it transpires that the petitioners are family members of the deceased, who died unnatural death, are seeking fair trial but only under the apprehension that the investigation has not been conducted in fair manner. The same cannot be a ground to seek a direction for fair trial from this court. Even it has been submitted that closure report has also been filed. 8. Accordingly, the writ petition being devoid of merit is liable to be and is hereby dismissed. However, liberty is reserved in favour of the petitioner to take recourse to other alternate remedies available to them under the law.
