JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Ms. Shashi Ghuman, Advocate for Ms.Bhupinder Pal Kaur Brar, Advocate for the petitioner .. RAJAN GUPTA, J.: (Oral) This is a petition under section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking a direction to respondents No.1 to 3 to take cognizance of the complaint filed by petitioner against respondents No.4 and 5, to register a case and investigate the same. Learned counsel submits that in view of complaint submitted by the petitioner, it is clear that a cognizable offence is made out and thus, the official respondents are bound to register a case under all the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. In view of the law laid down by the Supreme Court in Sakiri Vasu vs. State of U.P. and others, 2008(1) R.C.R. (Crl.) 392, the petitioner has an effective remedy by way of complaint under section 156(3) Cr.P.C. There is, thus, Crl.Misc.No.M-24970 of 2010 - 2 - no ground to issue a direction in the inherent jurisdiction of this court. The petition is devoid of merit and is hereby dismissed.
