Therefore, he filed a cheque complaint before the jurisdictional Magistrate Court and the same is pending. While so, the 4th respondent lodged a false complaint against the petitioner and based on the same, the 2nd respondent frequently called the petitioner and insisted to return the cheque. Therefore, he sent a representation dated 07.04.2025, but the same has not been considered. Hence this petition.
