CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal

Present:-      Mr. G.S. Toor, Advocate
               for the petitioners.

RAJESH BINDAL J.

                        ****

This is a petition for issuance of a direction to register the FIR

against respondents No.3 to 6 and other persons under the appropriate sections

of the Indian Penal Code.

Learned counsel for the petitioner states that petitioner made a

complaint dated 1.4.2009 (Annexure P1) to the Senior Superintendent of Police,

Muktsar but no action has been initiated against the culprits.

Keeping in view the law laid down by Hon’ble the Supreme Court in

Sakiri Vasu Vs. State of U.P. and others 2008 (1) RCR (Criminal) 392 such a

petition for direction to the police for registration of FIR could not be entertained

as the petitioner has effective alternative remedy under Section 156 of the Code

of Criminal Procedure and as such this Court would not like to interfere in the

matter in its extra ordinary jurisdiction.

Faced with this situation, learned counsel for the petitioner submits

that he may be permitted to withdraw the present petition.

Accordingly, the petition is dismissed as withdrawn, however, with

liberty to the petitioner to avail of the alternative remedy in accordance with law.

                                                 (RAJESH BINDAL)
