The said Nagendra Singh Baghel has sent reply to the petitioner in writing that he entered premises on instructions of the original tenant’s brother for the limited purpose of cleaning and painting the tenement to make it habitable. It is, in this backdrop, the local Police has not considered the grievance made by the petitioner as disclosing cognizable offence. Assuming that the petitioner has any grievance against the said person, it is always open to the petitioner to take recourse to alternative efficacious remedy by filing a private complaint. In the said proceedings the Court may issue direction under Section 156 (3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure against the concerned person, if and when such occasion arises. We decline to exercise our writ jurisdiction with liberty to the petitioner to pursue such further remedy as may be available. All questions are left open to be considered on its own merit in accordance with law in the appropriate proceeding. Accordingly, the Petition is disposed of. (A.R. JOSHI, J.) (A.M. KHANWILKAR,J)
