Mrs. V Padma asked the court to make the police register a case based on her report. However, the court turned down her request, saying she needs to try other legal steps first.
Mrs. V Padma wanted the court to force the police to file a crime report she submitted on August 29, 2016. She felt the police ignored her complaint and wanted the court to help.
"…to issue an appropriate order directing the Respondents to register a crime based on the report of the Petitioner dated 29.08.2016..."
Judge N. Tukaramji looked at the case and decided that filing a petition like this is not the right way to go. The court explained that there are other legal options available that should be tried first.
The Assistant Government Lawyer pointed out that the Supreme Court has set rules about this issue. According to past cases like Sakiri Vasu v. State of U.P., a petition is not usually the right step for getting a First Information Report (FIR) filed. Instead, people should use the steps provided by the Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.P.C).
The court suggested that Mrs. V Padma should go to a Magistrate according to the legal process. This means she needs to follow the steps outlined in the law before asking for help from the High Court.
"The law provides enough and effective ways before the proper Magistrate, which the petitioner is free to pursue..."
The court dismissed the petition, meaning Mrs. V Padma's request was denied. However, she can still try other legal paths to address her issue.
The court also mentioned that there will be no extra costs for this case. Any other pending requests related to this matter are also closed.
In summary, the court decided not to grant Mrs. V Padma's request to make the police register her case, advising her to follow other legal steps first.
