    Case Summary: Poonabhai Chandpara filed a writ petition under Article 226 seeking a direction to the Union of India to act on his complaint dated August 5, 2022 against alleged corrupt Customs Officers. The Bombay High Court dismissed the petition in limine, finding that the complaint addressed to the Prime Minister did not qualify as a valid complaint under Section 154 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, and the petitioner should have pursued the remedy available under Section 154(3) CrPC instead.
