1. Heard. 2. This petition has been filed seeking the following reliefs:-
"A) A writ order or direction in the nature of mandamus be issued commanding the opposite party No. 1 to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to conduct an independent, credible and impartial investigation regarding the hate speech given by opposite party no. 3, against the members of the Hindu Community on 23.04.2025 through various media channels, regarding the brutal terror attack after separating the Hindu's from the rest and brutally shooting and killing only the Hindu's, to find out the root cause and the elements behind such poisonous, separatist and insensitive statement made by the opposite party no. 3. B) A writ order or direction in the nature of mandamus be issued commanding the opposite party No. 1 and 2 to take appropriate actions against the Opposite Party No. 3 in light of his violations of sections 299, 152 and 302 of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (Sections 295A and 298 IPC). C) Any other suitable order may also be passed that this Hon'ble Court may deem to be necessary in the interest of Justice. D) Cost of the writ petition be awarded in favour of the petitioner."
3. We asked Ms. Ranjana Agnihotri, appearing in person as to, if a criminal offence has been committed, whether the petitioner had lodged an F.I.R. or filed a complaint, as the case may be, she submitted that she had not. We see no reason to proceed any further in the matter, as if there exists any cause of action for proceeding under the criminal law, the recourse can be taken to the remedy prescribed under the said law. If there is a cause under the civil law, then the petitioner can take recourse to the
remedies prescribed therein. 4. The Writ Petition is disposed of with the aforesaid liberty as far as it may be permissible in law.
