THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.29665 OF 2011 ORDER: Aggrieved by the inaction of respondent Nos.2 and 3, in failing to register the petitioner’s complaints dated 05.09.2011 and 25.09.2011, and the representation submitted to the Superintendent of Police dated 26.09.2011, 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 an offence, but also to direct the officer incharge of the concerned police station to hold proper investigation and, if need be, to monitor the investigation, if any, carried on. 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. _____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J November 11, 2011 Note: Issue C.C. by 15.11.2011.
