2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner had sent a representation seeking action against the third respondent, who is an Engineer. The petitioner has entered into an agreement with the third respondent for construction of his house. Due to misunderstanding between the petitioner and the third respondent, the construction work was stopped without completion. The third respondent has started to threaten the petitioner, seeking money. Therefore, the petitioner has given a complaint before the second 2/4

respondent. However, no proper action was taken, and therefore, this petition is filed.

3. Heard the learned counsel on either side and carefully perused the materials before this Court. Since no adverse order is proposed to be passed against the third respondent, notice to him is dispensed with.

4. Considering the facts and circumstances of this case, the first respondent police is directed to consider the petitioner's representation dated 13.05.2026 and conduct an enquiry in this regard, after issuing summons to the parties concerned, under Section 64 of the BNSS, and conclude the same, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
