The petitioner sought for a direction to register the FIR and arrest the accused. At the hearing, there is no representation for the petitioner. A perusal of the averments contained in the affidavit of the petitioner shows that in connection with the matrimonial disputes between the petitioner, her husband and in-laws, she gave several complaints to respondent Nos.2 to 4, which according to her were not acted upon by registering a complaint. Inasmuch as the petitioner has an effective remedy of filing a private complaint under Section 190 r/w Section 200 Cr.P.C., as held by the Supreme Court in Aleque Padamsee vs. Union of India[1], this Writ Petition is dismissed with liberty to her to avail the said remedy. As a sequel to dismissal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.25434 of 2007 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ______________________ (C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy, J) 18th April, 2008 lur [1] (2007) 6 Supreme Court Cases 171
