W.P.(CRL) 1167/2026 After a brief hearing in the matter, it transpires that the essence of the petitioner's allegation is that despite a cognizable offence being disclosed, the police have failed to lodge an FIR.

However, upon query, Mr. Rajbir Singh Bal, learned counsel for the petitioner confirms that the petitioner never moved an application under section 175(3) read with section 223 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023 ('BNSS') before the learned Magistrate.
