petition and accepts notice on behalf of the State. He opposes the petition arguing that once the complaint is made, law will take its own course. No evidence so far has come-forth to register the FIR. 5.

Be that as it may, in my opinion, the petitioner ought to have availed of other available legal remedies for redressal of his grievance before approaching this Court.

6.

Ordinarily, in cases of grievances arising from unfair or improper investigation of a complaint, the aggrieved person can seek recourse by approaching a superior police officer as per Section 30 Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. If the grievance remains unaddressed, one can then approach a Magistrate of competent jurisdiction under Section 175(3) Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, who can seek submission of a report by the police. Reference may also be had to Apex Court judgment in Sakiri Vasu versus State of U.P. and Others, 2008 2 SCC 409. 7.

In the premise, instant petition is disposed of along with pending application(s), if any.

8.

Petitioner is at liberty to take recourse to the remedy as may be advisable in accordance with law.
