Heard Mrs. Renu Pandey holding brief of Ms. Ankita Gupta, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned AGA for the State-respondents. 2. This writ petition is preferred praying for the following principal relief: "(i) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of Mandamus directing the respondent nos.2 & 3 to register the FIR against the respondent no.4 to 8." 3. The aforesaid relief is pressed in the light of Lalita Kumar vs. Government of U.P. and others, (2014) 2 SCC 1. 4. Per contra, the relief is opposed by the learned AGA on the premise that the alleged SIM has been used by the petitioner. Moreover, in case the petitioner is aggrieved, he has an efficacious remedy of filing an application under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C./175(3) B.N.S.S. 5. Considering the relief pressed before us, no positive direction for lodging an FIR is issued. However, it is open to the petitioner to move an application under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C./175(3) B.N.S.S. 6. In view of the aforesaid, the writ petition stands disposed of.
