Case Synopsis & Summary
This batch of Original Petitions (Criminal) filed in the Kerala High Court challenges the inaction of police on cognizable offences reported to the Cyber Crime Police Station Ernakulam City and pending investigations before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ernakulam. The petitioner, Remi Poulose K, a complainant in multiple cases, approached the High Court seeking either cognizance and process from the Magistrate or direction to the SHO to register crimes and conduct investigations, with final reports forwarded to the Court. The petitions contend that despite specific allegations of cognizable offences, no action was taken by the police, undermining the pursuit of truth. The Court, while considering the jurisdiction under Section 227 of the Constitution, declined to interfere, and directed the Magistrate to proceed with the complaints in accordance with law. It emphasized that the remedy for police inaction is ordinarily under Cr.P.C. 190 read with 200 (procedural cognizance by the Magistrate) and not a writ petition to compel police investigation through the High Court. The Court noted that the petitioner may request police investigation, which the Magistrate may consider in light of law. The judgment cites AIIMS Employees Union v. Union of India, Aleque Padamsee, Sakiri Vasu, Sudhir Tambe, and M. Subramaniam to support the principle that writ petitions directing police investigation are generally not maintainable. The bench was K. Babu, J., and the petitions were disposed of with directions consistent with law.
Provisions of Law Cited
Section 190 read with Section 200 Cr.P.C.Section 227 of the Constitution of India
Submissions & Arguments
Contentions of Appellants / Petitioners
The petitioner contends that where cognizable offences are alleged and police fail to act, the remedy is to move under Cr.P.C. 190 read with 200 before the Magistrate, or to direct the SHO to register a crime and investigate, with final report to the High Court. He argues that inaction undermines justice and that the High Court should intervene to ensure proper investigation, especially in cybercrime contexts. The petitioner relies on established authorities stating writ petitions directing police investigation are generally not maintainable and that the proper route is investigation by police via the magistrate, with cognizance taken only through the normal Cr.P.C. process.
Contentions of Respondents
The respondents argue that the petitioner has no right to compel a police investigation through writ and that the appropriate recourse is to approach the Magistrate under Cr.P.C. 190/200. They contend that Article 227 (the High Court's supervisory power) should not be used to direct police investigations and that the Magistrate's inquiry under Section 200 Cr.P.C. is the proper mechanism. They emphasize that interference at the High Court level would undermine due process and the delicate balance between police investigation and judicial scrutiny. The petitions were therefore to be disposed of with guidance to proceed in accordance with law, without mandating police investigation by writ.”},

| All India Institute of Medical Sciences Employees Union v. Union of India | MANU/SC/1769/1996 | Positive | Cited to support the principle that a writ petition directing police investigation is not the appropriate remedy where Cr.P.C. 190/200 read with 200 is available. |

In all these Original Petitions the common petitioner seeks directions to the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ernakulam to order investigation into the allegations levelled against the party respondent.
2. The petitioner lodged complaints against the party respondents in all these cases before the SHO concerned, and thereafter filed complaints under Section 190 r/w Section 200 Cr.P.C. before the Chief Judicial Magistrate.
3. The grievance of the petitioner is that even though there were specific allegations of the commission of cognizable offences, no action was taken by the police .
4. When information with regard to the commission of any cognizable offence is laid with the police, but no action on that behalf is taken, the complainant/aggrieved person has right under Section 190 read with Section 200 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to lay the complaint before the Magistrate having jurisdiction to take

cognizance of the offence. Instead of adopting or availing that procedure, he is not entitled to approach the High Court by filing a writ petition and seek a direction to conduct an investigation into the complaint filed by him before the police [See **All India Institute of Medical Sciences Employees Union v. Union of India MANU/SC/1769/1996 : (1996) 11 S.C.C. 582, Aleque Padamsee v. Union of India MANU/SC/2975/2007 : (2007) 6 S.C.C. 171, Sakiri Vasu v. State of U.P.

Janaki MANU/SC/0348/2020 : (2020) 16 S.C.C. 728].**
5. The petitioner has prayed for the following reliefs in the complaint filed before the Magistrate.
“Therefore, it is respectfully prayed that this Honourable Court may be pleased to accept this complaint, take cognizance of this complaint and issue process to the accused and try and punish them in accordance with law.

final report to this Honourable Court charging the accused with the offence alleged, in the interest of justice.”
6. It is submitted that the learned Magistrate is proceeding to take the sworn statement of the complainant. This Court is of the view that no interference exercising the jurisdiction under Section 227 of the constitution is warranted and possible. There will be a direction to the Magistrate to proceed with the complaint in accordance with law.
7. The learned Counsel for the petitioner further submitted that this is a case in which investigation by the police is required and collection of evidence by the Magistrate in the enquiry as contemplated under Section 200 may not be sufficient to unveil the truth. The petitioner is at liberty to request the learned Magistrate for an investigation by the police. The learned Magistrate will consider such a prayer and take a decision in accordance with law.
The Original Petitions (Criminal) are disposed of as above.
