2.The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that on

06.11.2018, the son of the petitioner was attacked by three persons with wooden log at his heel, legs, stomach and also on his private part. They also threatened him with dire consequences. Immediately, he was admitted in the Government Hospital, Radhapuram. Again, on 07.11.2018 for higher treatment, he was referred to Government Hospital, Asaripallam, Nagercoil. The same accused persons have also attacked the husband of the petitioner, on 07.11.2018 and as such sustained grievous injuries. He was also admitted in the Government Hospital, Asaripallam, and he had taken treatment for five days. Immediately, he lodged a complaint before the second respondent police Station. Unfortunately, the second and third respondents refused to receive the complaint. At this juncture, the third respondent also threatened that the death of his son only at his hands. Under these circumstances, on 12.11.2018, the petitioner received a message that her son died and her son's body was hanging in the premises of the Government School, Kuttapuli. They also noticed somany injuries on his legs, shoulder and other parts. In the place of occurrence, there was a blood stain on the wall and there was some scribbling written on the wall with the help of blood by the deceased and they found some of the names and reasons for his death. Though the post mortum conducted on the body of the deceased, it reveals some of the injuries on the body of the deceased, many of the injuries and other aspects were not revealed as reported in the Accident Register of the Government Hospital, Radhapuram. Therefore, the petitioner was constrained to file a writ petition in W.P.(MD)No.22860 of 2018 for a direction for conducting re-post mortum.

Even knowing the said fact, the case was not registered for the offence under Section 302 I.P.C and it was registered only under Section 174 Cr.P.C.
