The Supreme Court in Sakiri Vasu Vs. State of U.P.[1] held that a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is not the proper remedy in cases where the complaint is that the police Authorities are not investigating an offence or are not conducting such investigation properly. The proper course in such cases would be for the complainant to approach the Magistrate concerned under Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Magistrate concerned would have the power to monitor the investigation and ensure that proper investigation is done in the case. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed at the threshold leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the appropriate remedy under the Code of Criminal Procedure. No costs. ________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J 16th July, 2010 Note: Furnish C.C. by 20.07.2010.
