Summary: A Hyderabad resident's request to make the police take action on an unregistered complaint was turned down. The court mentioned that there are already enough ways to deal with such issues.

The Petitioner's Request

Kaza Vijaya from Hyderabad filed a request asking the court to step in. She wanted the police to officially record her complaint from September 9, 2016. She believed the police didn't act because of pressure from a former MLA.

Arguments in Court

Mr. G.L. Narasimha Rao, speaking for Kaza Vijaya, argued that the police ignored her complaint. He wanted the court to order the police to officially record the case. On the other hand, Mr. R. Laxmikanth Reddy, speaking for the state, argued that this kind of request isn't the right way to solve the problem.

Court's View on the Matter

Justice N. Tukaramji looked at past cases and decisions. The court pointed out that according to the rules, there are already ways to deal with the police not recording a complaint. The Supreme Court had previously decided in cases like Sakiri Vasu v. State of U.P. that these issues shouldn't be solved through such requests.

"A request under Article 226 is usually not allowed when the issue is about the police not recording a complaint."

The Decision

Justice Tukaramji turned down the request, saying it wasn't the right way to solve the problem. The court stressed that Kaza Vijaya should use the existing legal methods through the Magistrate, as per the rules.

Summary of the Verdict

The court dismissed Kaza Vijaya's request because it wasn't the correct legal approach. The court advised her to use the existing legal channels to address her issue.
