(Oral) : Dharam Singh has filed this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short – Cr.P.C.) seeking registration of FIR. In view of judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Sakiri Vasu vs. State of U. P. reported as 2007 (5) Law Herald (Supreme Court) 3910, the instant petition is not maintainable. Power under Section 482 Cr.P.C. cannot be exercised for ordering registration of FIR because petitioner has alternative efficacious remedy of approaching the Illaqa Magistrate for appropriate relief. In view of the aforesaid, the instant petition is dismissed. This is without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to approach the Illaqa Magistrate for appropriate relief, in accordance with law.
