CASE HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 09/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR , J. ========================== CRL.M.C. No. 1768 of 2006 ========================== Dated this the 9th day of January, 2008. ORDER The short grievance of the petitioner is that on a complaint filed by him before the 1st respondent , Sub Inspector of Police, Thoppumpady alleging commission of cognizable offences no F.I.R. has been registered or any investigation commenced. He, therefore, seeks a writ of mandamus or appropriate direction against the 1st respondent and the others. In the light of the recent pronouncement of the Supreme Court in Sakiri Vasu v. State of U.P and others ( 2007(13) SCALE 693), a writ petition for the aforesaid relief cannot be entertained. The remedy of the petitioner is either to move the superior officer under Section 154 (3) Cr.P.C or to move the Magistrate under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C or under Section 190 r/w Section 200 Cr.P.C. Hence, leaving the petitioner to any of the alternative remedies available to him in law, this writ petition is dismissed. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
