O R D E R

The limited prayer sought for in the present Writ Petition is for a direction to the first respondent to consider the petitioner's representation dated 26.12.2017, wherein she had complained of physical torture by the second and third respondent.

2.It is needless to point out that whenever complaint of this nature is made, the same cannot be kept pending indefinitely but needs to be disposed of in one way or other. Since the representation pertains to physical beating by the police officials belonging to the second respondent police station, it would be proper that the enquiry be conducted by a higher official and a decision be taken thereon. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
