The State of Maharashtra. ... Respondent ----- Mr. Satish Mishra i/b A.M.Saraogi for the Petitioner. Mr. D.P.Adsule, APP for the Respondent/ State. ----- CORAM : A.M. KHANWILKAR and P.D. KODE, JJ. DATE : 26 th October, 2010. P.C. From the averments in the petition, there is nothing to indicate that the Petitioner himself approached the concerned police station to register his complaint. Indeed, our attention is invited to communication dated 13 th October, 2010 – Exhibit-A sent to the Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime). However, that is a legal notice. The fact remains that the Petitioner has still not approached the concerned police station for recording of his statement on the basis of which FIR can be registered. Realizing this position, the Petitioner through counsel submits that the Petitioner would visit the concerned police station tomorrow. The concerned police official before whom the statement will be made by the 2 23 wp.3056.10 Petitioner, is free to record the complaint as FIR, if it discloses commission of cognizable offence and take the matter forward in accordance with law. Petition disposed of on the above terms. [ P.D. KODE, J ] [ A.M. KHANWILKAR, J ]
