    Case Summary: The Calcutta High Court dismissed Kartik Nayak's writ petition seeking direction to register an FIR on his complaint with Dum Dum Police Station. The court held that an alternative remedy exists under Section 175(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, allowing the petitioner to approach the jurisdictional Magistrate if police fail to register the FIR. The dismissal does not preclude the petitioner from pursuing the Magistrate remedy. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
