ORDER The grievance of the petitioner is that in spite of filing a complaint before the 2nd respondent, the Sub Inspector of Police, Changannur alleging commission of a cognizable offence the police are not registering a crime or FIR and commencing investigation. The petitioner, therefore, seeks a direction to the police to register a crime and commence investigation. In the light of the recent pronouncement of the Supreme Court in Sakiri Vasu v. State of U.P and others (2007(13) SCALE 693, the remedy of the petitioner is either to move the superior police officer under Section 154(3) Cr.P.C or to file a petition under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C before the Magistrate or to file a private complaint before the Magistrate concerned under Section 190 r/w Section 200 Cr. P.C. This Crl. M.C is accordingly dismissed leaving the petitioner to have recourse to any of the aforesaid alternative remedies. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
