The learned Public Prosecutor, after taking instructions, submits that though Ext.P1 complaint has been received, no crime has been registered as the police were not satisfied that a crime deserves to be registered. 3. It is now trite after the decision in John Peruvanthanam v.State of Kerala & Others [2008(1)KHC 226] that the remedy of filing a writ petition is not available to the petitioner in the given circumstances. The petitioner must seek remedy in accordance with the said decision before the learned Magistrate. I am satisfied that no further directions deserve to be issued invoking the powers under Article 226 of the Constitution. 4. This writ petition is in these circumstances dismissed.
