Petitioner Versus State of Maharashtra & Ors. .. Respondents … Adv. B. B. Tiwari a/w Akshata Shinde, for the Petitioner. Ms Sangeeta D. Shinde, APP, for the Respondent-State. ... CORAM: BHARATI DANGRE & ASHISH S. CHAVAN, JJ. DATE : 08th OCTOBER, 2026 P.C:- 1. Heard the learned counsel for the Petitioner. The Petitioner has approached this Court with a strange relief and also in a strange manner. In the wake of the consistent discord between the Petitioner and Respondent No. 3, we are informed that various complaints/cross-complaints are filed, but every time, the concerned police station refused to entertain them on the ground that the nature of discord is civil in nature. Despite this, according to the Petitioner, the Senior Inspector of Police, Shalimar Baug Police Station, New Delhi, was approached by his rival, Arun Kumar Sharma, and some communications/letters are addressed to him for RUSHIKESH VISHNU PATIL Digitally signed by RUSHIKESH VISHNU PATIL Date: 2026.10.09 10:47:42 +0530 2/2 15 WP.4509.2026.odt attending the investigation. The Petitioner, therefore, seeks a restraining order against the Senior Inspector of Police from issuing any letter coercing the Petitioner to join any frivolous investigation, and he also prays for quashing and setting aside the said notices. 2. The relief as prayed for in the Writ Petition deserve to be refused on two counts. Firstly, what is challenged before us are the notices issued by the Senior Inspector of Police, Shalimar Baug Police Station, New Delhi, and our writ jurisdiction does not extend to New Delhi. On the second count, the Writ Petition deserves to be dismissed as it is open for the Petitioner to seek available remedy, like filing an application for anticipatory bail or seeking any protective measures if he apprehends that he may be arrested in connection with the said CR. Hence, we dismiss the Writ Petition. (ASHISH S. CHAVAN, J.) (BHARATI DANGRE, J.)
