Anita v. State of NCT Delhi & Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
Anita v. State of NCT Delhi & Ors., W.P.(CRL) 1138/2026, High Court of Delhi, decided 09.04.2026 by Girish Kathpalia J. (oral). Writ petition seeking action by respondent no. 2 on petitioner's complaint/representation dated 13.02.2026 (Annexure P-1) invoking the Supreme Court direction in Lalita Kumari v. State of UP [2013] 14 S.C.R. 713 read with Section 173 of BNSS 2023, plus action against erring officers. Counsel clarified the prayer was not for FIR registration; State reported an inquiry already underway on the complaint. Court found the petition frivolous (petitioner aware FIR-registration petition requires exhausting remedies), declined to opine on whether a cognizable offence was made out pending examination by the Magistrate, and dismissed the petition.
What did the court decide?
The petition is completely devoid of merit and frivolous and is therefore dismissed.
