It is well settled that if the police authorities do not take appropriate action on the complaint of the petitioner, the petitioner has an effective alternative remedy under Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure and he can always file a private complaint, if he so desires. Without exhausting the alternative remedy, the petitioner approaching this Court cannot be permitted. The writ petition is misconceived and is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J 12.12.2011 KH
