2. None appeared on behalf of the petitioner

3. Heard Mr. D.Pradeep, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 3.

4. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home submits that the police authorities never received any complaint from the petitioner and, therefore, no crime has been registered. lt is further submitted that the relief sought in the present writ petition, namely, a direction to td police authorities to register a criminal case, is not maintainable under I 2 Article 226 of the Constitution of lndia, in view of the well-settled legal ") principles laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of lndia.

6. I har,'e carefully perused the material placed on record. The grievance of the petitioner, in essence, is that despite having submitted ir written complaint, the concerned police authorities failed to register a case.

7. The legal position governing such matters is well settled in Sakiri Vasu y. Sferfe of lJ.P. & Others [AlR 2008 SC 907]. The Hon'ble Supreme Court catel;orically held that where the grievance pertains to the refusal or failure c,f the police to register a First lnformation Report (FlR), the appropriate course is not to invoke the writ jurisdiction of the High Court under Article 226. The Court emphasized that the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 ("Cr.P.C-") provides an adequate, effective, and comprehensive mechanism to address such grievances, and that recourse must first be had to the statutory remedies available therein.

8. This principle has been consistently reaffirmed in subsequent decisions. lvlost notably, in M. Subramaniam y. S. Janaki & Ofhers [AlR 2O2O SC :]87], a three-Judge Bench of the Hon'bte Supreme Court reiterated tlrat the proper remedy for an aggrieved,party, in the event of police inacl:ion, is to avail the procedures prescribed under the Cr.P.C. The Court clarified that bypassing these remedies and directly invoking \ J { the extraordinary jurisdiction of the High Court under Article 226 is impermissible, except in exceptional or extraord inary circumstances.

9. ln light of these authoritative pronouncements, and in the absence of any exceptional circumstances warranting interference, this Court is of the considered view that the relief sought by the petitloner under Article 226 of the Constitution of lndia cannot be entertained. However, the petitioner is at liberty to pursue the grievance before the magistrate concerned, in accordance with law, should the cause still persist. iO. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed as not maintainable. There shall be no order as to costs. Miscellaneous Petitions, pending if any, shall stand closed. SD/.
