This Court is of the opinion that in view of the observations

made and directions given by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case

of Sakiri Vasu Vs. State of U.P., AIR 2008 SC 907, no person

can be encouraged to directly approach this Court for seeking

direction of fair investigation. If any person is aggrieved of lack of

action by the police as regards the FIR which has been filed

by/against him/her, the appropriate course of action for the

aggrieved person is to first approach the Magistrate having

jurisdiction, who can call for the report from the investigating

officer and also instruct the investigating officer to investigate the

matter fairly. If the petitioner is aggrieved by any inaction of the

police, then he should move to the appropriate Court in

accordance with the directions issued by the Apex Court in the

aforesaid judgment. The trial court would be empowered to call for

the report from the I.O. and issue appropriate direction for fair

investigation in consonance with the view expressed by the

Hon'ble Apex Court.

With the aforesaid observations, the miscellaneous petition

and the stay petition are disposed of.
