However, on the next day, the detenue was taken forcibly from the petitioner and hence, he lodged a complaint on 27.10.2020 to the second respondent. It is further stated that he sent a representation to the first respondent on 24.11.2020. Since no action was taken on the basis of his complaint and representation, the present petition has been filed. 3.When the matter is taken up for hearing today, the petitioner and the detenue appeared before this Court from the Public Prosecutor's Office through video conferencing.
