Hon'ble Ajai Kumar Srivastava-I,J.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Additional Government Advocate.

This petition has been filed seeking a direction to the Investigating Officer/Agency to conduct fair and proper investigation in respect of First Information Report No.383 of 2021, under sections 323, 506 & 307 I.P.C., Police Station- Kotwali Nagar, District- Sultanpur.

We have perused the averments made in the writ petition and are not convinced that any direction, as has been prayed for by the petitioners in this writ petition, can be granted in these proceedings. The Supreme Court in the case of Sudhir Bhaskarrao Tambe vs. Hemant Yashwant Dhage and others, reported in (2016) 6 SCC 277 relying upon an earlier judgment of the Supreme Court in the case of Sakiri Vasu vs. State of U.P. and others, reported in (2008) 2 SCC 469 has held that this Court normally should not entertain such petitions for the reason that complainant in such situations is at liberty to avail the alternative remedy by approaching the Magistrate concerned under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C.

Accordingly, we are not inclined to entertain this writ petition, which is hereby dismissed.

However, notwithstanding dismissal of the writ petition, it will be open to the petitioners to approach the Magistrate concerned by moving an application under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. If any such application is moved by the petitioners/complainant, the same shall be dealt in accordance with law by the Magistrate concerned.
