In my considered opinion, if the petitioner has got any grievance regarding the manner of investigation done by the Investigation Officer, he can very well approach the learned Jurisdictional Magistrate to work out his remedy. Bypassing the learned Jurisdictional Magistrate, the petitioner cannot approach this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C., directly. Thus, Since the petitioner has got effective alternative remedy before the learned Jurisdictional Magistrate, this petition cannot be entertained. 4. For the reason stated above, this Criminal Original petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to work out his remedy before the learned Jurisdictional Magistrate.
