Judgment : 1. The defacto complainant in Crime No.92 of 2014, registered by the second respondent came forward with this petition for inclusion of certain offences in the F.I.R. 2. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, the police has minimised the case by registering lesser offences, although the complaint discloses some graver offence. 3. The learned Government Advocate would submit that the Investigation Officer is awaiting the wound certificate and as when it is received, further steps will be taken towards the completion of the investigation. 4. A case has registered for offences under Sections 294(b) and 324 I.P.C. read with Section 4(i) (j) of TNP Act. 5. The grievance of the petitioner is that as per the averments made in the complaint commission of some graver offences have been complained of, but they were omitted. 6. Now, it is pertinent to note that still the investigation is going on. This is an hurt case. The nature of the injury has to be determined on obtaining the wound certificate. Based on the medical certificate and the nature of the injury, possibility of inclusion of some graver offences cannot be ruled out. 7. In the circumstances, the second respondent, namely, Inspector of Police, Nerkuppai Police Station, Thiruppathur Taluk, Sivagangai District is directed to conduct the investigation in Crime No.92 of 2014 on proper lines. Further, on collection of further evidence, if it reflects some graver offences, then he is bound to include them. The Sub-Divisional Officer, namely, the Deputy Superintendent of Police, Thiruppathur will closely monitor the investigation by the second respondent and ensure appropriate penal Sections are included in this case and also fairness in investigation. 8. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is disposed of.
