ORDER

This Criminal Original Petition has been filed to quash the impugned order in Ku.Va.No.62 of 2019, on the file of the first respondent.

Thereafter, the above said First Information Report has been forwarded to the learned Executive Magistrate / first respondent herein.

4. On perusal of the notice issued by the learned Executive Magistrate, it is seen that based on the report of the second respondent Police, the learned Executive Magistrate has applied his mind and after being satisfied with the report issued a show cause notice under Section 110 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. I find no irregularity in the notice issued by the learned Executive Magistrate. This Criminal Original Petition stands dismissed accordingly.
