    The Jharkhand High Court dismissed Vinay Lodha's writ petition seeking directions for proper investigation into Chaibasa Mufassil P.S. Case No. 30 of 2024, holding that alternative remedies under CrPC Sections 154(3), 156(3), and 200 must be exhausted before approaching the High Court. Justice Rongon Mukhopadhyay ruled that the petitioner should first approach the Superintendent of Police, then a Magistrate if needed, rather than directly filing a writ petition for investigation-related grievances.
