It is to be concluded that such a writ is not maintainable, as the petitioner has not alleged complaint against anyone. 3. Having taken note of the prayer made in the writ petition, I am of the view that such a prayer cannot be acceded to under Article-226 of the Constitution of India, however, in the event if there is any life threat to the petitioner, it is open for the petitioner to approach the Jurisdictional Police Station for redressal of the grievance. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:46821 WP No. 21776 of 2022 4.
