This Criminal Original Petition has been filed to direct the respondents and register the complaint based on the petitioner complaint dated 01.12.2021 and 06.12.2021 and investigate the matter in accordance with the law.

2.The grievance of the petitioner is that the petitioner had lodged a complaint on 06.12.2021. After receipt of the complaint, though there was an enquiry, further no action has been taken. Hence he filed this petition.

3.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor submits that in this case, both the petitioner as well as the counter complainant had appeared for enquiry on 06.12.2021. On that day quarrel aroused between them and there were exchange of words by the Advocates on both sides and there was a coarsening in the police station.
