hello all..
plz. guide..
I have made an application before the Magistrate U/s 156(3) for the registration of FIR to all listed person for Electricity theft.
In some matters court has ordered to registered the FIR, but still the Police has not registered fir FIR. Now despite several request in court for the calling of STATUS REPORT from police, the court if not calling for the STATUS REPORT from the police, as it says it has no powers.
plz suggest any judgment where the court can call the STATUS REPORT from police

In some states few disputes related to electricity are not tried by the courts.
Have you taken up with the electricity department.

electricity theft doesn't come to civil courts. They go to tribunal as per electricity act 2003. But if there are grounds, file a protest petition. Generally when private complaint is filed, the magistrate examines the complainant and forwards the complaint to police to register FIR and submit report. I presume, if this had happened, police might have registered FIR. They may be causing delay in filing report. This aspect may be protested. Also you can file a RTI application to the police station directly.
