It is stated that as no action has been taken, the petitioner made another representation before the 1st respondent on 23-06-2008 making certain allegations against some eight persons and permit him to do services in the said Church. But, so far, no action has been taken. If any complaint has been made disclosing cognizable offence, it is the duty of the police to register a case and investigate. In the event of not registering a case, even though the offence is cognizable, the course open for the complainant is to file a private complaint under Section 200 read with Section 190 Cr.P.C. before the Magistrate concerned. As the petitioner has got effective alternative remedy, I am not inclined to admit the writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed with a liberty to file private complaint before the Magistrate concerned. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 07-07-2008 Prv .....
