1 D.B.Civil Special Appeal(Writ) No.1359/2008 Akshat Sharma V/s The State of Raj. & anr. 14.8.2008 Hon'ble the Chief Justice Mr.Narayan Roy Hon'ble Mr.Justice Mohammad Rafiq Mr.H.K.Sharma for the appellant. Heard. By the order impugned, the writ application was virtually dismissed allowing the writ petitioner to move an appropriate application under section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. FIR lodged against the writ petitioner was challenged in writ jurisdiction of this Court. The learned Single Judge of this Court however rejected the prayer of the petitioner saying that he has got efficacious remedy under section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and therefore, remedy under Article 226 of the Constitution would not be appropriate for him. The writ petitioner-appellant, as it appears, without availing the remedy under section 482 Cr.P.C., has filed this intra court appeal against the order passed by the learned Single Judge declining to entertain the writ application. It is settled law that section 482 provides efficacious remedy as being inherent power of the High Court where criminal proceedings may be challenged. At the same time, it is also settled that ordinarily in such matters writ jurisdiction of this Court under Articles 226 and 227 need not be exercised unless there are materials before the court 2 that efficacious remedy under section 482 would not be available. The order passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court, in this view of the matter, appears to be wholly justified and well within jurisdiction. No interference is required. This appeal accordingly is dismissed. (Mohammad Rafiq)J. (Narayan Roy)C.J. Parmar
