Dear Experts
I work in a Telecom Company in Orissa. In last few months, about 8-10 numbers of Cellular Towers were burned/exploded by the maoists. We went to the concern police station for lodging FIR against unknown miscrents, but the Officer incharge of Police stations are not accepting FIR against the maoists for threat to their life. The we moved to the concern police Superintendent to report the matter, but same thing happened. Lastly we moved to the local Judicial court & filed a petition u/s-39 Cr.P.C. but the Magistrate is also not interested to consider our petition. He rather advise us to file a complain petition u/s-201 Cr.p.c.
Our intention is not to prosecute the miscrents, rather to record the happenings at the police station/court and to claim insurance against the loss.
Is there any other way/remedy to record the incidence with the police/court.
Sec-39 Cr.P.C is quoted for immediate reference.
