This Petition has been filed for issuance of direction to the Joint Commissioner of Police / DCP / CID or any other independent agency to investigate the complaint filed by the Petitioner against Senior Inspector of Police, MRA Marg Police Station. However, it is noticed that the Petitioner has not filed any formal complaint to any of the Authority responsible to entertain such complaint and then to register FIR if the complaint discloses cognizable offence. Our attention has been invited to the communication sent by the Petitioner to the Home Minister, State of Maharashtra. That cannot be the basis to assume that the Petitioner has approached the competent Authority for registration of FIR. PPD 2 1.wp.3331-10 2.
