The bench further opined that if there is any remedy, it is the lodging of a First Information Report if there is a cause under the criminal law. However, if it is not being lodged then to pursue the remedy under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. but there is no way that such a direction can be issued by this Court at the behest of the petitioner, Court noted.
The bench while dismissing the plea further stated that if there is any civil cause then the aggrieved person can initiate civil proceedings.
