ORDER

The petitioner has come forward with this petition seeking for a direction to the respondent to register a case pertaining to the petitioner's complaint dated 23.03.2016.

2.The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has lodged a complaint before the respondent police on 23.03.2016. But the respondent police has not shown any interest to enquire the matter and register the case. Hence, the petitioner has come forward with this petition for the above stated relief.

3.At this juncture, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, on instructions, would submit that on the basis of the complaint given by the petitioner, enquiry has been conducted and the complaint was closed.

4.Considering the rival submissions made on both sides, I am of the view that it is a fit case to re-open the closure report and enquire the matter afresh. Therefore, the respondent is directed to re-open the case and expedite the enquiry and follow the dictum laid down in Lalitha Kumari vs. Govt. of U.P & others https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
