Judgment :- M.Chockalingam, J. Invoking the writ jurisdiction of this Court, one Ganesan aged 55, has brought forth this petition alleging that his daughter aged 22, was found missing from 28.8.2009; that a complaint was given on 29.8.2009, the next day, but no steps have been taken by the first respondent police and under the circumstances, this petition is filed. 2. On the last occasion, the petitioner was directed to produce the proof for lodging the complaint on 29.8.2009. 3. When the matter is taken up today for enquiry, the learned Counsel for the petitioner fairly conceded that no proof is available. Under the circumstances, it would be quite indicative of the fact that no complaint was lodged that day. Apart from that, the learned Counsel would submit that another complaint has been given only on 24.3.2010. That was the date when the instant petition was filed in this Court. Hence it would be quite clear that on the very day when the petition was filed, the complaint has also been given to the police. Therefore, there is no meaning in keeping the petition pending in Court. But, at the same time, it would be fit and proper to issue a direction to the first respondent police to register a case on the complaint if the allegations are sufficient and proceed with the investigation to trace the daughter of the petitioner herein. Accordingly, a direction is issued and this petition is disposed of.
