THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.10190 OF 2010 DATED 14TH JULY, 2010 BETWEEN K.Bagya Lakshmi … Petitioner And Superintendent of Police, Warangal District. And Another. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.10190 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioner assails the inaction of the Police Authorities, respondents herein, upon the complaint which was taken on file in Crime No.100 of 2009 by the Station House Officer, Venkatapur Police Station, Warangal District. Deficiency in investigation by the Police Authorities is not reason enough to entertain a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution. As pointed out by the Supreme Court in SAKIRI VASU v. STATE OF U.P.[1], the proper course is for the petitioner to approach the concerned Magistrate under Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Magistrate is empowered to ensure proper investigation by monitoring the investigative process under the said provision. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed at the threshold leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the appropriate remedy under the Code of Criminal Procedure. No costs. ____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J. 14TH JULY, 2010 VGSR/PGS [1] (2008) 2 SCC 409
