In the affidavit accompanying this petition, it is stated that on 06.05.2014, the petitioner went to his father-inlaw's house and claimed his wife's share in the property. On that day, the younger sister of the petitioner's wife quarrelled with the petitioner and others. In the melee, one Balaji and two others attacked the petitioner and caused injuries to the petitioner and consequently, he was taken to Government Hospital, Senthamangalam for treatment. In this regard, the petitioner made a complaint before the respondent police on the same day and requested to take appropriate action against the said Balaji and others. The respondent herein received the petitioner's complaint and asked Balaji and others to appear for enquiry. The said Balaji and others appeared for enquiry with the help of some rowdy elements and threatened the petitioner to withdraw the complaint. Later, they forcibly received signature https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
