Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the Criminal Writ Petition No.53 of 2013, stating that the issues raised involved disputed questions of fact, and thus, extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India and Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure was not invoked. The Court emphasized that the petitioner had an adequate remedy available by filing a complaint before the Judicial Magistrate, First Class, and therefore, the petition was rejected. The holding reinforces the principle that extraordinary writs are not to be entertained when alternative remedies exist.
