Petitioner present in person.

Aftab Ahmed Gorar, J.:- We have heard the petitioner who appeared in person and perused the record.
2. Perusal of averments of petition reveals that petitioner has directly approached this Court without exhausting the efficacious remedy available to her under section 22-A Cr.P.C. by filing the necessary application before the Justice of Peace.
3. It needs not to iterate that the extraordinary constitutional jurisdiction of this Court under Article 199 of the Constitution is equitable and discretionary and is to be exercised only where substantial rights of a party have been invaded in flagrant violation of law. For the redressal of grievances of the petitioner, a hierarchy, mentioned above, is available under the law, which can be approached if need be.
4. In this view of the matter, we constrained to hold that this petition for want of jurisdiction cannot be entertained by this Court hence the same is dismissed.
