Judgment
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.20100 of 2009 ORDER: The grievance of the petitioner is that though the petitioner approached the Police and gave a complaint against respondent Nos.2 and 3 on 09.09.2009, the Police have neither registered a crime nor investigated into the matter. Hence, the petitioner approached this Court and filed the present Writ Petition.
Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Home.
In my considered view, the petitioner instead of approaching this Court ought to have approached the criminal Court and filed a private complaint as provided for under Section 200 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, and that is the best course of action left to the petitioner.
Operative part
Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to approach the competent criminal Court and file a private complaint against respondent Nos.2 and 3, and I am sure, the criminal Court will initiate necessary action as provided for under the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________________ (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) 18th September, 2009
