IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. W.J.C. No.1008 of 2010 MADAN MANDAL Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ORS. ----------- 2. 4.3.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the direction of the Sub-divisional Officer, Katihar vide Memo No.146 dated 23rd of February, 2008 to the Officer-in-Charge of Kurshella Police Station District- Katihar, as contained in Annexure 2, no appropriate action is being taken. As a matter of fact, the Incharge of Kurshella Police Station, Katihar (respondent no.9) ought to have registered a case against the persons, who are interfering with the peaceful harvesting of his crops. Learned counsel for the State, on the other hand, submits that the petitioner has approached this court without exhausting the statutory remedy provided under the Code of Criminal Procedure. Considering the rival submissions of the parties, I am not inclined to interfere with the matter. However, it will be open for the petitioner to either approach the higher officials of the police or the Magistrate as permitted under the law. The writ application stands disposed of.
