GP FOR HOME The Court made the following:
ORDER: The Writ Petition has been filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking the following relief:-
“…to issue a Writ Order or direction particularly, one in the nature of writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the Respondents in acting upon my report dated 10.11.2025 and 29.11.2025 in accordance with the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Lalita Kumari v. Government of Uttar Pradesh, (2014) 2 SCC 1, which makes registration of FIR compulsory upon disclosure of cognizable offences and to conduct a fair, impartial, and expeditious investigation is as illegal and violation of my fundamental rights guaranteed under Articles 14, 19, and 21 of the Constitution of India and consequently direct the authorities to act upon my report dated 10.11.2025 and 29.11.2025 in accordance with law and to pass….”
2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader. 3. Sri J. Sravan Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner, submits that the petitioner had already submitted two complaints dated 10.11.2025 and 29.11.2025, but, no action has been taken in respect of those complaints by the respondents. Since the said complaints have not been considered by respondents in accordance with law, it is urged that the Writ Petition be allowed. 4. Sri P. Ajay Babu, learned Assistant Government Pleader, on written instructions, submits that there is a deformation suit pending in between

a private person and the petitioner. The respondent No.4 has conducted preliminary enquiry. Hence, urged to dismiss the writ petition. 5. On perusal of the entire record, the allegation against the respondents by the petitioner is that respondents had allegedly committed activities of kidnapping, illegal detention, caste abuse, threats of life, extortion of Rs.7 crores and defamatory campaigns. In view of the fact that the allegations are more particularly related to illegal confinement, extortion, atrocities, defamation and criminal intimidation, the petitioner ought to have approached the regular Law and Order Police. 6. Be that as it may, the petitioner has an alternative and efficacious remedy before the learned jurisdictional Magistrate by way of filing a private complaint.
If the petitioner is of the view that his complaint discloses a cognizable offence and is liable to be registered as an FIR, and that respondents have failed to register the same, she is at liberty to avail the remedy under Section 190 read with Section 200 of ‘the Cr.P.C.,’/Section 210 read with Section 223 of ‘the BNSS’. 7. Considering the above facts and circumstances, recording the
submissions of the learned Assistant Government Pleader, the Writ Petition is disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to approach the learned jurisdictional Magistrate by way of filing a complaint under Section 190 read with Section 200 of ‘the Cr.P.C.,’/Section 210 read with Section 223 of ‘the

BNSS’ or approach the Law and Order Police for his grievance. There shall be no order as to costs.
