1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 164 OF 2009 (Satendra Bashisht Tripathi .v. Director General of Police and another) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's Orders and Registrar's orders. Shri S.N. Bhiwapurkar, Advocate for the petitioner. Shri A.G. Mujumdar, APP for the respondents. CORAM : A.P. LAVANDE AND PRASANNA B. VARALE, JJ. 03RD JULY, 2009. Heard. By this petition, the petitioner challenges ten FIRs registered against him at different Police Stations in Vidarbha namely, Amravati, Buldana, Washim and Yavatmal on several grounds. It is noticed that the petitioner made the respondents only Director General of Police, State CID (Drimes), Pune and State of Maharashtra, through Chief Secretary, Home Department, Mantralaya, Mumbai. It is well settled that in order to succeed in challenge to FIR by way of Writ Petition, the person who lodges FIR is necessary party to the petition. In view of the fact that the informants have not made parties to the petition, such petition is not maintainable. 2 We are not inclined to grant time to the petitioner to join the informants as parties at this stage. Hence, the petition is rejected. However, it is made clear that the dismissal of this petition will not come in the way of the petitioner from seeking appropriate remedy, if available in law.
