Award the cost to the petitioner." At the very outset, the learned A.G.A. has raised a preliminary objection by contending that in respect of grievance raised in present writ petition, remedy lies to the petitioner to approach the Jurisdictional Magistrate. In view of the law laid down by Apex Court in Sakiri Vasu Vs. State of U.P. and others (2008) 1 SCC (Cri) 440, present writ petition is not maintainable. As such, present writ petition is liable to be dismissed. When confronted with above, the learned counsel for petitioner could not overcome the same. In view of above, present writ petition is dismissed on the ground of alternative remedy. October 14, 2025 HSM CRLP No. 23199 of 2025 2 (Dr. Ajay Kumar-II,J.) (Rajeev Misra,J.)
