We are in agreement with the submission made by the learned Public Prosecutor that it was not proper for the Petitioner PPD 2 10.wp.404-11 to rush to this Court and make grievance of non-registration of FIR, when the Petitioner was party to the agreement dated 3rd July, 2009 which was produced before the Police Officer of the concerned Police Station. Much later, the Petitioner directly made representation to the Minister, Home Department sometime on 3rd July, 2010 and has filed the present Petition on 8th January, 2011. 3. If the Petitioner had any grievance or complaint, in the first place, he ought to have approached the local Police Station for recording of the statement on the basis of which the local Police could have proceeded in the matter in accordance with law. 4. In the circumstances, we dispose of this Petition with direction that the Petitioner, if so desires, may present himself before the Deputy Superintendent of Police of the concerned area (Mr.Bhor) on 7th March, 2011 between 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.. Whereafter the said Officer may cause to record the statement of the Petitioner and proceed in the matter in accordance with law. 5. We have passed this unusual order permitting the Petitioner to present himself before the Deputy Superintendent of Police and not the Officer in-charge of the local Police Station which does not 3 10.wp.404-11 mean that the allegations in the Petition have been accepted, but, to avoid any further controversy to be raised by the Petitioner. 6. Petition is disposed of on above terms. (A. R. JOSHI, J.) (A. M. KHANWILKAR, J.)
