**** AVNEESH JHINGAN, J (Oral):
The matter is taken up for hearing through video conference due to COVID-19 situation.
This petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for directions to Senior Superintendent of Police, Moga to take action on the representation dated 27.7.2020 (Annexure P-4) made by the petitioners. Further direction is sought that the petitioners and their family members should not be harassed by calling them to the police station time and again on the pretext of recording statements. The representation has its roots in a matrimonial dispute. However, during the pendency of the representation, the matter was compromised, however cheque dated 13.8.2020 amounting to Rs.29,30,000/- issued as per compromise was dishonoured.
