JUSTICE HASMUKH D. SUTHAR Date : 11/09/2025 ORAL ORDER [1.0] By way of present petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner prays for direction directing the Respondent authorities to lodge the FIR pursuant to the written complaint dated 24.01.2025. [2.0] Learned advocate for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner has approached respondent authority by way of written complaint dated 24.01.2025, but nothing has been done. [3.0] Perusing the nature of allegations and as the petitioner is intended to file a complaint, prima facie, it appears that as to whether offence is made out or not itself is a question of fact. At this stage, it would be apposite to consider the observations made by the Apex Court in the case of M. Subramaniam vs. S. Janki reported in (2020)16 SCC 728 as well as the decision in the case of Imran Pratap Gadhi vs. State of Gujarat reported in 2025 SCC OnLine (SC) 678. [4.0] In view of above, present petition stands disposed of with R/SCR.A/3704/2025 ORDER DATED: 11/09/2025 direction to the respondent authority to inform the petitioner in writing about the same by assigning reasons in brief, preferably within a period of two weeks from today. If the petitioner is aggrieved with such outcome then he shall have liberty to file appropriate proceeding before appropriate forum. It is hereby made clear that this Court has not examined the merits of the case. Direct service is permitted. (HASMUKH D. SUTHAR, J.)
