    The High Court dismissed the petitioner's writ petition seeking directions to register an FIR and arrest accused persons in a property dispute case. The court found that adequate alternative remedies existed under Section 173(4) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, allowing the petitioner to approach the Superintendent of Police or Magistrate directly, and therefore declined to entertain the petition.
