               Versus

U.T. Chandigarh and others
                                                     ...Respondent

CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal

Present:-      Petitioner in person.

RAJESH BINDAL J.

                        ****

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

against accused persons under the appropriate sections of the Indian Penal

Code.

The petitioner states that he made a complaint dated 31.8.2009

(Annexure P3) to the Senior Superintendent of Police, UT Chandigarh 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.

Accordingly, the petition is dismissed, however, with liberty to the

petitioner to avail of his alternative remedy in accordance with law.

                                                  (RAJESH BINDAL)
