Dear Sir The High Court will generally not entertain a direct writ petition or criminal case when an effective alternative remedy exists before the local Magistrate ​You must first approach the Judicial Magistrate First Class JMFC under Section 200 of the Code of Criminal Procedure or the corresponding section of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita BNSS by filing a private complaint against the erring police officers ​You should also submit a complaint to the Superintendent of Police under Section 154 3 CrPC or BNSS equivalent and move an application under Section 156 3 CrPC or BNSS for directing an investigation ​Directly filing a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution in the High Court will likely lead to the court directing you to exhaust your local statutory remedies before the Magistrate first ​The CCTV footage must be preserved securely and a formal request under Article 21 or applicable evidence rules should be made to preserve all station recordings ​In case of custodial violence or police brutality you can parallelly approach the State Human Rights Commission or the Police Complaints Authority for swift administrative and disciplinary action against the officers involved

Ordinarily, the High Court will not accept a direct writ petition for police inaction or registration of a criminal case, directing the petitioner to exhaust alternative local statutory remedies first—such as approaching the Superintendent of Police or filing an application before the Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) under Section 175(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS, formerly Section 156(3) CrPC)—unless exceptional circumstances or gross violation of fundamental rights are explicitly made out.
