For Petitioner : Mr.T.Lajapathi Roy For Respondents : Mr.P.Kannithevan Government Advocate (Crl.Side) O R D E R Seeking a direction to the second respondent – police to register a case on the complaint of the petitioner dated 18.12.2010, the petitioner has come up with the present Criminal Original Petition. 2. According to the petitioner, he was illegally detained in the police station and attacked by the police resulting in injuries. In this regard, according to him, the Human Rights Commission has initiated proceedings against the concerned police. But, no action was taken against the police, who are responsible for the said occurrence. 3. In my considered view, the petitioner has got alternative remedy to work out his remedy either before the jurisdictional Magistrate under Section 156 of the Code of Criminal Procedure or under Section 200 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Going by the nature of the allegations made in the petition and in view of the availability of alternative remedies, which are efficacious, I am not inclined to grant the relief sought for by the petitioner. Therefore, the Criminal Original Petition stands dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to work out his remedy in the manner known to law.
