For the State : Mr. Manoj Kumar, GA III ----- 03/ 21.04.2025 The provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure/BNSS in respect of registering of FIR has not been followed by the petitioner. The petitioner has directly approached this Court without approaching the Court concerned. The grievance of the petitioner is that the police is not registering the FIR, thus this Court should direct for registering as FIR. Sufficient safeguard is there is BNSS for an informant, if FIR is not registered, which the petitioner has not availed. Thus the petitioner should avail the remedy as available in BNSS. This writ application at this stage is not maintainable. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed as not maintainable. (ANANDA SEN, J.) Tanuj/
