THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.9967 OF 2010 DATED 13TH JULY, 2010 BETWEEN D.Sulochana and Another … Petitioners and The Superintendent of Police, Nalgonda District. And Others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.9967 OF 2010 O R D E R The grievance of the petitioners is with regard to the inaction of the Police Authorities, the respondents herein, in registering a case against a Driver of the APSRTC basing on their complaint dated 15.10.2008. The said complaint is said to have been lodged with the Station House Officer, Peddavoora Police Station, Nalgonda District. The petitioners seek a consequential direction to the respondents to initiate such action and register a crime against the concerned Driver. Inaction on the part of the Police Authorities in registering a crime is not amenable to the writ jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution. The proper course, as pointed out by the Supreme Court in SAKIRI VASU v. STATE OF U.P.[1], is for the petitioners to approach the concerned Superintendent of Police under Section 154(3) or the Magistrate concerned under Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Writ Petition is therefore not maintainable and is accordingly dismissed leaving it open to the petitioners to avail the proper remedy under the Code of Criminal Procedure. No costs. ---------------------------- SANJAY KUMAR, J. 13TH JULY, 2010. PGS / VGSR [1] (2008) 2 SCC 409
