M MALLIKA Vs. COMMISSIONER OF POLICE

JUDGEMENT

(1.) This petition is filed seeking a direction to the second respondent to register the complaint against the 3rd and 4th respondents.

(2.) By consent of both sides, this Criminal Original Petition is taken up for final disposal.

(3.) The grievance of the petitioner is that inspite of a complaint given by her on 27.11.2017 to the 2nd respondent, the same has been kept in abeyance without any action. It is well settled in the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Lalita Kumari Vs. Government of Uttar Pradesh and others, (2013) 6 CTC 353, that registration of an FIR is mandatory under Section 154 of the Code of Criminal Procedure if an information furnished to the police officer disclose commission of a cognizable offence and in cases where the information does not disclose a cognizable offence, a preliminary enquiry has to be conducted.
