IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION NO.18737 OF 2011 DATED:05.07.2011 Between: Balla Chandrakantam … Petitioner And The Deputy Commissioner of Police Central Zone, Hyderabad And others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION NO.18737 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner is aggrieved by the action of respondent Nos.1 and 2 in not registering the complaints dt.16.4.2011 and 19.5.2011 filed by him against respondent Nos.3 and 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though the complaints against respondent Nos.3 and 4 were filed by the petitioner on 16.4.2011 and 19.5.2011, no case is registered by the official respondents. The question as to whether a writ petition would be maintainable in such circumstances came up for consideration before the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Sakiri Vasu v. State of U.P.[1] wherein it has been held that in the event of non-registration of F.I.R. by the Police, writ petition is not to be entertained and the aggrieved party can always approach the Superintendent of Police under Sections 154(3) and 36 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) by an application in writing, and if that is of no avail, by filing an application before the concerned Magistrate under Section 156(3) of CrPC. In view of the above, there is no merit in the writ petition and the same is accordingly dismissed. The petitioner may avail the alternative remedies as mentioned above. No costs. _______________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J 05.7.2011 bnr [1] AIR 2008 SC 907
