Whenever any written intimation has been made by the complainant alleging that cognizable offence has been committed and if no crime is registered by the concerned Station House Officer, there is an effective alternative remedy under the code of criminal procedure for filing private complaint under Section 190 read with Section 200 Cr.P.C. before the Magistrate concerned. As the petitioner has got effective alternative remedy, I am not inclined to admit the writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed with liberty to file private complaint before the Magistrate concerned. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 12-06-2008 Prv .....
