Let's break down a recent court case where Vadla Mallesh Chary wanted the court to make the police file a report about a crime. But things didn't go as he hoped. Here's the story.
Vadla Mallesh Chary went to court because the police didn't file a report based on his complaint from July 15, 2016. He thought a local politician was stopping the police from doing their job.
"The police didn't file a report about the crime because the local politician was allegedly influencing them."
Chary's lawyer said the court should give an official order to make the police file the report. But the government's lawyer, Mr. R. Laxmikanth Reddy, disagreed, saying that asking the court to do this isn't usually allowed because there are other ways to solve the problem.
The court looked at the rules. According to the law, the police have to file a report if the complaint shows a crime happened. If they don't, the person can talk to a higher-ranking police officer or even a judge.
The Supreme Court has said before in cases like Sakiri Vasu v. State of U.P. that high courts shouldn't usually get involved in making the police file reports. There are already proper steps to follow for this.
Judge N. Tukaramji decided that the request couldn't be accepted. The law gives people enough options to deal with such issues without needing the court to step in directly.
"The right way for someone with a complaint is to use the existing legal options and not directly ask for an official order from the court."
In the end, the court turned down the request. The judge pointed out that there are already effective legal ways to handle this kind of situation, and the petitioner should use those instead. So, no quick fixes through the High Court this time!
