1. This CRLMP has been filed with the following prayer: “The present Petitioner therefore prays before your lordship to be kind and gracious enough and consider the above stated facts and circumstances and admit the CRLMP and issue notice to opposite parties and to direct the Opposite Party No. 3 to arrest the accused person as per F.I.R. and for a fair and impartial investigation and to provide the protection to the life and property of the petitioner in the above P.S. Case. And the petitioner further prays before your lordship to pass any other order/s, direction/s as your lordships shall deem just fit and proper.
And for this act of kindness, the Petitioner as in duty bound shall every pray.”
2. But it is apparent from the averments in the CRLMP and the submission of the learned counsel for the Petitioner that no FIR has been registered at Delang Police Station.
3. The learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that the Petitioner is a physically handicapped person and for that he is unable to do seva puja of the deity Shree Amrutaswar Dev Bije and Shree Chandi Thakurani Bije, situated in Delang, for which the villagers led by Deepak Narendra are harassing him and threatening him.
4. For any relief relating to seva puja in the temple, the Petitioner can submit his application before the appropriate authority, if he has not already done so.
5. As regards the registration of the FIR, it is apparent that the Petitioner has not complied with Section 173(4) of the BNSS.
6. Hence, the CRLMP is disposed of granting liberty to the Petitioner to approach the Superintendent of Police, Khordha and thereafter, if he is still aggrieved, he can avail the
alternate remedy which is available to him under Section 175(3) of the BNSS.
7. The CRLMP is disposed of with the aforesaid observation.
