Sxxxxx Yxxxx v. the State Govt of NCT of Delhi and Anr.
Case brief
What is this about?
This judgment deals with a writ petition wherein the petitioner sought direction to police for expeditious action regarding a complaint lodged via Speed Post and for protection against the accused. The High Court dismissed the prayer for expeditious action noting that the petitioner, mother of the alleged victim, had not been coming forward to make her statement in the enquiry as she was embroiled in matrimonial litigation. Regarding the invocation of writ jurisdiction for registration of FIR, the Hon'able Court observed that it is settled law that writ jurisdiction cannot be invoked to direct registration of FIR, and therefore the first relief could not be granted. However, regarding the second prayer for providing protection, the court directed that the petitioner be provided with the mobile number of the concerned Beat Constable to contact in times of distress. The petition was disposed of accordingly.
