PETITIONERS VERSUS Police Inspector, Police Station, Jinsi, and another ... RESPONDENTS ­­­­­ Shri A.B. Gaikwad, Advocate for the petitioners Shri K.B. Choudhari, A.P.P. for respondent No.1. ­­­­­ CORAM : NARESH H. PATIL AND SHRIHARI P. DAVARE, JJ. DATED : 15th October, 2009. ORAL ORDER : 1. Heard. Learned counsel Shri A.B. Gaikwad for the petitioners submits that this is an unique case wherein the complainant who is stranger, has filed complaint against the petitioners and learned trial Court had, without application of mind, issued process under several offences punishable under Indian Penal Code. Learned counsel for the petitioners places reliance on reported judgment in the case of M/s Pepsi Foods Ltd. And another Vs. Special Judicial Magistrate and others 2 [ AIR 1998 SUPREME COURT 128(1) ] for supporting his submission that Division Bench in Writ Petition could also entertain this Writ Petition. 2. We have perused the documents placed on record, considered the judgments and submissions of learned counsel for the petitioners. 3. Learned A.P.P. Shri K.B. Choudhari submits that against the order of issuance of process and in view of the peculiar facts of the case, the petitioners have efficacious statutory remedy under the Code of Criminal Procedure. At this stage, in exercise of writ jurisdiction, this Court may not enter into disputed questions of fact, locus­standi etc. 4. We find that in the facts of the case, exercise of extra­ ordinary jurisdiction of this Court, by the Division Bench, is not called for. In the facts of the case, the petitioners have efficacious statutory remedy which the petitioners, if desire, may avail of. 5. Without commenting upon merits of the matter, we dismiss this Writ Petition on the ground of availability of alternate remedy. All issues are kept open. [SHRIHARI P. DAVARE, J.] [NARESH H.
