During the course of enquiry, the counter parties did not co-operate to resolve the issue. They undertook to produce the document showing the title over the property. But later failed. By advising the petitioner to workout his remedy through appropriate civil proceedings, this complaint was closed. 3.

Since already the complaint itself was closed, the petitioner has to workout his remedy through appropriate civil proceedings. If any trouble arises in future and any crime committed by the counter parties against the petitioner, he can make fresh complaint by setting out proper allegations. Direction for Police protection at this stage may not be proper.
