He seeks a consequential direction to the said Officer to file a charge sheet within four weeks. Inaction on the part of the Police Authorities in registering a crime or in investigating an alleged offence or any deficiency in such investigation is not a matter to be redressed by way of a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution, in the light of the law laid down by the Supreme Court in SAKIRI VASU v. STATE OF U.P.[1]. The proper course for the petitioner, as pointed out in the said Judgment, is to approach the concerned Superintendent of Police under Section 154(3) or the Magistrate concerned under Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Writ Petition is therefore not maintainable and is accordingly dismissed in limine leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the proper remedy under the Code of Criminal Procedure. No costs. ---------------------------- SANJAY KUMAR, J. 13TH JULY, 2010. PGS / VGSR [1] (2008) 2 SCC 409
