HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.16835 of 2010 DATE:16.07.2010 Between: B.J. Rajagopal … Petitioner And The Superintendent of Police, Anantapur District, Ananatapur, and another … Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.16835 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner assails the action of the police Authorities, respondents 1 and 2 herein, in not registering a crime based on his complaint dated 08.06.2010 and investigating the same. The Supreme Court in Sakiri Vasu Vs. State of U.P.[1] held that a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is not the proper remedy in cases where the complaint is that the police Authorities have not registered a crime, or have failed to take up investigation or are not conducting such investigation properly. The proper course in such cases would be for the complainant to approach the Superintendent of Police concerned under Section 154 (3) or the Magistrate concerned under Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Instead of availing such remedy, the petitioner has approached this Court directly. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the appropriate remedy under the Code of Criminal Procedure. No costs. ________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J 16th July, 2010 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No. 16835 of 2010 (Dismissed) Date:16.07.2010 CBS [1] (2008) 2 SCC 409
