The learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted that the respondent police will take a decision with regard to registration of FIR within a short time, if the complaint makes out a cognizable offence and thereafter, will proceed in accordance with law. 3.

Recording the submissions of the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, this Criminal Original Petition is disposed of. 07.07.2023 Index : Yes/No Internet : Yes/No Speaking Order/Non-Speaking Order rka
