DATE : 23.06.2022 PER COURT :- 1.

Heard the learned counsel for the applicant and the learned APP for the State.

2.

The allegations have been levelled against the applicant that he went to the Government Warehouse and asked the complainant "why he has not immediately uploaded the data of the ration shop owners". Thereon, there was the dispute and the incident happened. It seems that failure of the services to be rendered by the public servant to the public is the cause of the incident. After having gone through the FIR, there appears nothing to be recovered and discovered from the applicant. It seems, the incident happened out of the anger. It is a matter of concerned that such type of incidents are repeatedly happening

918-ABA.576-22.odt and public is taking the law into their hands. If the services are not promptly rendered to the public, the Higher Authority should take care to avoid such instances due to delayed service to the public. Be that as it may, the prosecution has no case for custodial interrogation. Hence, the following order :

O R D E R
