ORDER :
1. This Writ Petition for a mandamus is filed to give a direction to the Station House Officer of II Town Police Station, Madanapalle, to take cognizance of the report lodged by the petitioner on 21.03.2022 and to register an F.I.R. or Zero F.I.R. against the persons named therein for the offences punishable under Sections 420, 406, 506 r/w.34 of IPC.
2. Concise statement of facts, as pleaded in the writ petition, relevant to dispose of this Writ Petition may be stated as follows:
The main legal point established in the judgment is that the writ of mandamus can be declined when seeking to direct registration of FIR before exhausting the available statutory remedies under Cr.P.....
Cognizance of an offence under Section 188 IPC requires a written complaint by a public servant; FIRs based solely on police reports are prohibited and rendered void.
