Ramesh Kumar v. State Of Haryana And ORS
IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH
Criminal Misc. M. No. 55805 of 2024 (O&M) Date of Decision: 11.11.2024 Ramesh Kumar .....Petitioner versus State of Haryana and others .....Respondent
Present :
Mr. Shiv Kumar Rana, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Deepak Balyan, Addl. Advocate General, Haryana. ****
The grievance of the petitioner who happens to be the complainant is that despite informing about commission of cognizable offences, the concerned police officials have not lodged the FIR. 2.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner wants action to be taken against respondents No. 7 to 10 with regard to the commission of alleged offences in accordance with law. 3.
The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) 2023 provides for ample remedy to the petitioner-complainant arising out of the cause of non-registration of case as well as non-conduction of investigation in a free, fair and expeditious manner. The provision of Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (Section 175 of BNSS) and Section 200 of Code of Criminal Procedure (Section 223 of BNSS) can very well be invoked by the complainant by filing an application before the Magistrate of the area concerned.
