Orders. CORAM : P.V.HARDAS & S.B.DESHMUKH,JJ DATE : 24.08.2011 This petition was argued before use by the learned counsel for the petitioner on 17.8.2011. When this court expressed its disinclination to entertain this petition, learned counsel to the petitioner sought time till today for seeking instructions for withdrawal of the petition. The learned counsel to the petitioner was absent when this petition was called out in the morning and therefore it was kept back. None appears on behalf of the petitioner when the petition is called out again. By this petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India the petitioner has prayed for issuance of writ of mandamus directing Police to register an offence against the respondents on the basis of the complaint of the petitioner. The Supreme Court in (2007) 6 SCC 171 [Aleque Padamsee and ors ..vs.. Union of India and ors] and AIR 2008 SC 907 [Sakiri Vasu ..vs.. State of U.P. & Ors.] has held that such a writ petition is not maintainable as the petitioner has alternate remedy available to him in law. However, since the petitioner is absent though we are not inclined to entertain the petition on merits, we dismiss the petition for default. JUDGE JUDGE SMP
