Bharatamma. The fact that all the deceased persons belong to the CPI ML pwg is proved from the following: (I) The statements of the villagers, close relatives and sympathisers. (II) The involvement of the deceased in a number of criminal cases. (III) Five of the deceased were in Olive green Uniform at the time of incident. (IV) The recovery of two. 303 rifles, two sbbl guns and one DBBL gun, live and empty ammunitions and party literature from near the dead bodies of the deceased.

(VIII) Detailed report on the Lakshmapur encounter as published in Jung a secret magazine of PWG, wherein it is stated that seven out of twelve pwg members were killed in an encounter with the police and only five could escape due to non-following of the set procedures. It is also mentioned that the PWG members fired on the police first. The names of all the 7 dead PWG members were mentioned in the said magazine. It is also mentioned that the PWG members fired on the police first. The names of all the 7 dead PWG members were mentioned in the said magazine. (XI) The statements of some of the sympathisers during their open speeches as reported in the newspapers that the deceased were the members of the PWG. ( 4 ) NO objection to the said report was filed. Sri S. Ramachandra Rao, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner, would submit that from a perusal of the said report it would appear that chances of the victims having been shot at a close range cannot be ruled out. The learned counsel would further contend that no second post-mortem examination was done and thus the possibilities to the effect that the victims were deliberately killed in a fake encounter cannot be ruled out. ( 5 ) THE learned Advocate General on the other hand submits that not only pursuant to the direction of the Court the CBI has conducted a second post-mortem examination, all steps have also been taken in this regard. ( 6 ) IN the public interest litigation, the court s power is to see that action be taken in accordance with law by the statutory authorities. The Court shall also interfere wherever it is found necessary to protect and preserve the fundamental rights and other constitutional rights of the citizens of India. The National Human Rights Commission having regard to the frequencies of such encounters has already issued several guidelines. A Division Bench of this Court, however, thought it fit to entrust the investigation of the matter keeping in view the nature of the allegation, to the CBI. A thorough investigation was made by it. It, upon a thorough investigation, could not come to a definite prima facie finding of commission of an offence warranting submission of charge sheet against the police officers. ( 7 ) IN our opinion, it is not for this Court to direct any further investigation or probe into the matter by any other agency. Law has to be enforced as far as possible only through the statutory agencies. ( 7 ) IN our opinion, it is not for this Court to direct any further investigation or probe into the matter by any other agency. Law has to be enforced as far as possible only through the statutory agencies. As noticed hereinbefore, in this case an independent agency like CBI had been entrusted with the burden of investigation, and as it appears from the report all steps had been taken, a second post-mortem examination has also been done and sufficient evidence was not found for issuance of charge sheet. This court cannot issue any direction to the contrary. ( 8 ) FOR the reasons aforementioned, this court is of the opinion that no further action need be taken. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.
