According to the petitioner, though he sought to give complaint dated 17-10-2008 to respondent No.2, the same was not received and no action is being taken. In Aleque Padamsee and others vs. Union of India and others[1], the Supreme Court held that if a complaint given by victim of an offence has not received proper attention of the police, the aggrieved party is entitled to file a private complaint under Sections 190 and 200 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. Therefore, the appropriate remedy for the petitioner is to approach the jurisdictional Magistrate with the private complaint against the persons who have been allegedly committing the offence. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to avail the remedy referred to above. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition, WPMP No.15304 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
