2.Technically, this is a matter, where the petitioner ought to have moved the concerned Magistrate for appropriate direction, since the case has not been registered. If it is aggrieved that no First Information Report was registered based on her complaint, yet, inasmuch as both the sides conceded that there are civil litigations between the landlord and the tenant, this Court suggests both the parties to explore the possibility of the mediation settlement, for which, both sides are consented.

3.Accordingly the matter is referred to the Mediation and Conciliation Centre attached to this Bench. Both the parties are directed to appear before the Mediation and Conciliation Centre attached to this Bench on 15.04.2019 at 03.00 p.m. 4.Post the matter before this Court after the mediation process is completed.
