The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of a writ petition under Article 226 and Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, seeking registration of a private complaint as an FIR. The Court ruled that the appellant had an alternative remedy under Section 190 read with Section 200 of the Code, and could seek further investigation under Section 173(8). The Court emphasized that the appellant could approach the investigating agency or the concerned court for further action, thus affirming the High Court's decision.
