2. At the outset, learned counsel for the petitioner has relied on the order dated 05.07.2023 rendered by a coordinate Bench of this Court in Special Criminal Application No.8194/2023. It is needless to say that it is an oral order and no any ratio laid down and having no any binding effect.
3. So far the issue involved in the petition is concerned, it is squarely covered by the law laid down by this Court in a case of Bhoomi Exim & Anr. Vs. State of Gujarat & Anr. (SCR.A/12711/2023, dtd. 07.10.2023) as well as the Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Arun Shankar Shukla Vs. State of U.P & Ors., reported in 1999 (6) SCC 146.
4. In view of the above decisions as well as the fact that statutory remedy is available under law, this Court is not inclined to allow present petition. Accordingly, present petition is dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to file appropriate proceedings before appropriate forum. It is clarified that this Court has not examined the matter on merit.
