Judgement Date : 23 March, 2022
THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SATISH CHANDRA SHARMA
AND
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI
WRIT APPEAL No.1145 of 2018
JUDGMENT: (Per the Hon'ble the Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma)
The present writ appeal is arising out of an order
dated 09.10.2017 passed by the learned Single Judge
in W.P.No.33450 of 2017.
The facts of the case reveal that the writ petition
was preferred by the appellant/writ petitioner alleging
that the appellant/writ petitioner has submitted a
complaint to the police against the President and
Treasurer of Madeena Masjid at Nalgonda in respect of
misappropriation of funds and no FIR has been
registered in the matter. The learned Single Judge has
disposed of the writ petition with a liberty to the
appellant/writ petitioner to take recourse to the
remedies available under the Wakf Act as well as the
other remedies. Meaning thereby, the appellant/writ
2
petitioner wanted the FIR to be registered in the matter
against certain persons.
Learned Government Advocate, at the outset, has
drawn the attention of this Court towards the
judgment delivered by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in
the case of M.Subramaniam and another v. S.Janaki
and another1 and his contention is that in the light of
the aforesaid judgment, the High Court cannot direct
registration of FIR. He has also stated that the writ
appeal is also not maintainable in the light of the
judgment delivered in the case of Ram Kishan Fauji v.
State of Haryana and others2.
In the considered opinion of this Court, keeping
in view the facts and circumstances of the case and
also the judgments delivered by the Hon'ble Supreme
Court in the aforesaid cases, no case for interference is
made out in the matter in respect of the order passed
1
(2020) 16 SCC 728
2 (2017) 5 SCC 533
3
by the learned Single Judge. The appellant/writ
petitioner shall certainly be free to avail the other
remedies available under the law.
The writ appeal is accordingly disposed of.
The miscellaneous applications pending, if any,
shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
