**** HARKESH MANUJA, J. (ORAL) 1.

By way of present petition filed under Section 482 CrPC, prayer has been made for issuance of directions to respondent No.2 to get further inquiry/investigation conducted by any Higher Police Officer in FIR No.103 dated 04.08.2023 registered under Sections 307, 323, 341, 148 and 149 at P.S. Sadar Sangrur, District Sangrur. 2.

At the outset, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that instead of pressing the present petition on merits, his client would be satisfied in case direction is issued to the respondents to decide the representation (Annexure P-2) moved at the instance of petitioner by passing a speaking order expeditiously.

Prayer seems to be justified.

Upon advance notice, Mr. Shubham Kaushik, A.A.G., Punjab appears on behalf of respondents and raises no objection to the innocuous prayer made on behalf of the petitioner.
