The said writ petition was disposed-of by a Co-ordinate Bench of this court vidé order dated 05.01.2026 with the following directions: "2.
Although the reliefs, as extracted above, are incomprehensible, the petitioner states that he has two distinct grievances:

B. The petitioner claims to have purchased court fees of Rs.1,000/ on 30.08.2022, which remains unused. He has made an The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.
application dated 09.12.2022 to the Office of SDM, East, Shastri Nagar, for refund of the said amount. He claims that no response has been received to his application.
3.
As far as the first aspect is concerned, the petitioner's remedies lie before the Magistrate's Court under Section 175(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. He is at liberty to seek appropriate orders from the jurisdictional Magistrate. This Court has not been called upon, at this stage, to make any comment in this regard, including with respect to the issue of jurisdiction, whether before the Magistrate in Pune or in Delhi.
4. As far as the refund of the court fees is concerned, the Office of the SDM, Shastri Nagar, is directed to respond to the petitioner's application dated 09.12.2022 within a period of eight weeks from today. If the refund is not permissible for any reason, the reasons shall be communicated to the petitioner in writing so that the petitioner may take his remedies."
5.
Considering the evident incomprehensibility of the prayers contained in the present petition, and the fact that some of those prayers have already been dispose-of by the Co-ordinate Bench vidé order dated 05.01.2026 referred to above, this court has attempted to elicit from the petitioner his actual grievance, if any, that he wishes to canvass by way of the present petition.
6.
In response, the petitioner Mr. Sourav Sekhar Behera, who appears inperson, has drawn attention to e-FIR No. ED-LN-000600/2022 dated 12.06.2022 registered by him under section 379 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 at P.S.: e-Police Station (Laxmi Nagar), Delhi. In particular, Mr. Behera has cited Entries Nos. 9 and 10 of that FIR, which read as follow:
