    Case Summary: W.P.(Cr.) 236/2026 Decision: The Jharkhand High Court dismissed the writ petition filed by Laxman Prasad Das seeking directions for fair investigation into Jamua P.S. Case No. 106 of 2025, where chargesheet was filed against three accused but investigation remained incomplete regarding other accused persons. Reasoning: Justice Rongon Mukhopadhyay held that the petitioner had alternative remedies available—approaching the Superintendent of Police under CrPC Section 154(3), filing a complaint before a Magistrate under Section 156(3), or submitting a criminal complaint under Section 200 CrPC—and should not bypass these by directly approaching the High Court via writ petition.
