P.MAHALINGAM vs MONICA KUMAR & ANR

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against the Allahabad High Court's order, which had rejected the appellants' request for a CBI inquiry into police assault under Article 226 of the Constitution. The Court held that since no FIR was registered, the High Court correctly directed the appellants to file an application under Section 156(3) of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, for appropriate action. The Court emphasized the necessity of following procedural law before seeking extraordinary relief.
