Telangana High Court Dismisses Plea For FIR Direction, Holding CrPC Remedies Must Be Exhausted First

The Telangana High Court has dismissed a woman’s writ petition seeking directions to the police to register a criminal case.

The Court ruled that citizens must first exhaust remedies under the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) before approaching the High Court. The Court, referring to Sakiri Vasu v. State of Uttar Pradesh, reiterated that the CrPC already provides adequate and effective mechanisms to address such grievances.

The Court, finding no exceptional circumstances to warrant direct intervention, held that the writ petition was not maintainable and accordingly dismissed it.
