The impugned order reads as under: "Complaint filed by the complainant U/s. 200 of Cr.P.C is hereby dismissed." - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:42315 CRL.P No. 6016 of 2020 2. The petitioner is having an alternative and efficacious remedy to challenge the same and a petition under Section 482 of Cr.P.C is not maintainable in this regard. 3. Further, the allegation in the PCR made by the petitioner is against one Rajnishwar Dayal, whereas in the present petition, one Mobassar Alam is made as a respondent instead of a Rajnishwar Dayal. There are no allegations made against him in his prior complaint. On this ground also, the petition is not maintainable. 4. In the view of above, the petition filed by the petitioner is hereby dismissed. Sd/- (M.I.ARUN) JUDGE CH List No.: 1 Sl No.: 21
