THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.21607 of 2011 ORDER: Alleging inaction on the part of respondents in investigating into Crime No.305 of 2010 on the file of the Sircilla Town Police Station, Karimnagar District, and in not filing charge sheet against the accused for recovering the petitioner’s electric motor, the present Writ Petition is filed. As held by the Supreme Court, in Sakiri Vasu v. State of Uttar Pradesh and others[1], the petitioner has an effective remedy under Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (Cr.P.C.), whereunder the Magistrate concerned has not only the power to order registration of the offence, but also to direct the officer incharge of the concerned police station to hold proper investigation as also to monitor the same. In view of the alternative remedy available to the petitioner, I consider it wholly inappropriate to exercise jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the alternative remedy under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C, the Writ Petition is dismissed. However, in the circumstances, without costs.
