In this case, Bajaru Ranga Rao filed a request because the police didn't register his complaint. He wanted the court to make the police take action, but the court said no.

The Complaint That Wasn't Registered

Bajaru Ranga Rao complained that the police didn't register a crime based on his complaint from November 16, 2016. He thought this was because a local politician was influencing the police. His lawyer, Mr. V. Brahmaiah Chowdary, argued that the police should be told to register the case.

"The police failed to register a case because of the pressure from the local politician."

Legal Position on Filing a Writ Petition

The government's lawyer, Mr. R. Laxmikanth Reddy, argued that you can't ask the court to make the police register a case through this type of legal request. This is because there are other legal ways to deal with this situation.

Supreme Court's Stand

The court mentioned a Supreme Court case, Sakiri Vasu v. State of U.P., which says that this type of legal request isn't the right way to handle the police not registering a complaint. Instead, there are other legal steps to take.

"A writ petition is usually not the right way to deal with the police not registering a complaint."

What the Court Decided

Justice N. Tukaramji dismissed the request. He said that Bajaru Ranga Rao should use the other legal options available, like going to a lower court, instead of filing this type of request.

"The request made by Bajaru Ranga Rao cannot be accepted."

Summary of the Verdict

The court decided that Bajaru Ranga Rao's request was not the correct way to solve his problem. He was told to follow the legal steps that are available to him.
