2. None appeared for the petitioner.

3. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home submits that the wriften representation submitted by the petitioner on

20.02.2019 was duly considered by the concerned police authorities and, upon thorough examination, was rejected on the ground that it lacked merit. Accordingly, the contention that the said representation was not considered by the police is untenable. Hence, he prays that the writ petition be dismissed. 2

5. The explanation offered by the respondenl ndicates that the petitioner's representation was duly considere < , and that, in the exercise of their discretion, the authorities ,l rcided not to register a crime. However, if the petitioner is agg'l :ved by such inaction, the proper course would be to avail the statutory remedies available under law.

6. The legal position governing matlers of this rature is well settled. ln Sakln Vasu v. Sfafe of U-P. & Others I \tR 2008 sc 907), the Hon'ble Supreme Court categorically hel, I that when a grievance relates to the alleged refusal of the poli,; ) to register a First lnformation Report (FlR), recourse to the wrrt jurisdiction of the High Court under Article 226 of the Constituti rn of lndia is ordinarily not maintainable. The Court emphasizec hat the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 ("Cr.P.C."), now re I laced by the Bharatiya Nagaik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, provide: an adequate and efficacious statutory mechanism for redre ,sal of such grievances.

7. This principle has been consistently subsequent judicial pronouncements. Note t eaffirmed in ly, in M. 3 Subramaniam v. S. Janaki & Ofhers (AlR 2020 SC 387), a Three- Judge Bench of the Hon'ble Supreme Cou( reiterated that an aggrieved party, in cases of alleged inaction by the police, must avail the remedies prescribed under the Cr.P.C-, such as approaching the Magistrate under Sections 156(3) or 200 Cr.P.C., rather than directly invoking the writ jurisdiction of the High Court. ln light of the settled legal principles, and in the absence of

8. any exceptional or extraordinary circumstances warranting interference by this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution, the relief sought by the petitioner cannot be entertained. However, the petitioner is at liberty to pursue appropriate remedies available under the relevant provisions of the Cr.P.C./BNSS, if the cause of action continues to subsist. L Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed as not maintainable. There shall be no order as to costs. All miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this writ petition, shall stand closed //TRUE COPY// KHA RANI ASSISTANT REGISTRAR D/- B. 6 SECTION OFFICER To,
