📜 Filing Writ Petitions for FIR Registration? Exhaust CrPC Remedies First
The High Courts have reiterated that petitioners must exhaust statutory remedies under Sections 36, 154(3), and 156(3) of the CrPC before approaching the High Court directly for issues relating to non-registration or improper investigation of FIRs.
✅ Key Takeaway:
Magistrates have wide powers under Section 156(3) CrPC / Section 528 BNSS to order FIR registration and direct proper investigation.
Writ petitions under Article 226 or Section 482 CrPC should not be the first resort.
High Courts should not ordinarily interfere unless lower remedies are exhausted.
📖 Legal Insight:
While High Courts retain inherent powers to ensure fair investigation, they must avoid setting deadlines or interfering prematurely, which could prejudice the investigative process.
