Orders
The Calcutta High Court dismissed the writ petition as not maintainable. Petitioners sought a writ directing police to register an FIR based on a written complaint dated 18.04.2026 alleging violation of a civil court injunction. The court held that the proper remedy for grievances regarding FIR registration or investigation is to approach the Magistrate under Section 156(3) CrPC, not file a writ petition under Article 226, following Supreme Court precedent and the court's own Division Bench decision. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
