IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-31612 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 11.11.2009 Reeta Rani .. Petitioner v. The State of Punjab and others .. Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. C. L. Pawar, Advocate for the petitioner. .. Rajesh Bindal J. This is a petition for direction to the official respondents to investigate upon complaint dated 5.10.2009 (Annexure P1) made by the petitioner to Senior Superintendent of Police, Sangrur and to take action against respondents No. 4 to 6 as per law. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner approached the police authorities, but no action has been initiated on the representation of the petitioner. Keeping in view the law laid down by Hon'ble the Supreme Court in Sakiri Wasu v. State of U. P. and others, 2008(1) RCR (Criminal) 392, such a petition for direction to the police for investigation or registration of FIR could not be entertained as the petitioner has effective alternative remedy under Section 156of the Code of Criminal Procedure and as such this Court would not like to interfere in the matter in its extra ordinary jurisdiction. Civil litigation between the petitioner and respondent No. 4 is also pending. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed, however, with liberty to the petitioner to avail of her alternative remedy in accordance with law. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 11.11.2009 mk
