The Rajasthan high Court dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking direction to the respondents to register First Information reports immediately as and when a citizen approach to nearest police station under Sec. 154 (1) Cr.P.C. and after proper investigation result of the same may be produced before concerned court of law.
The petitioner in person submits that the law requires the incharge of the Police Station to ensure registration of the FIR immediately as and when citizen approaches the nearest Police Station 154(1) Cr.P.C after proper investigation.
The petitioner during argument admits that he is personally aggrieved as he had also lodged FIR at Police Station, Kotwali Sirohi but the FIR was not registered, therefore, he filed petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C and that petition has been disposed of on 18.03.2024 with liberty to file application under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C before the Magistrate.
“This petition is completely devoid of merit. A petition of general nature has been filed by the petitioner without clearly stating any particular case”, the Division Bench of Chief Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava and Justice Munnuri Laxman noted.
The Court also find that the petitioner is a person who otherwise is personally aggrieved because in his case FIR was not registered against which he has already taken a remedy in his personal capacity. Therefore, at his instance, PIL cannot be entertained.
