An order of this Court made on 22.12.1989 directing companypletion of investigation of allegations of physical violence on and destruction of the printing Press of Journalist by the Police within two months is yet to be companypleted even after a lapse of nearly 3 years.
A journalist in the State of Kerala companyplained of an attack on his person and property at the instance of the Police officers of the State.
It preferred to accept the assurance on behalf of the State by Shri Poti, its learned Counsel.
We are perturbed by the way in which State of Kerala and its officers have dealt with the orders of this Court.
He wanted an investigation by the C.B.I. Unfortunately, events as have unfolded themselves, render his apprehensions number illegitimate.
The matter calls for a fresh and detailed approach.
The development in this case are disquieting.
This Court then did number accept the petitioners impassionate plea that the investigation be entrusted to the C.B.I. and number to the local Police.
