Crl. Misc. No. M-1273 of 2017 (O&M) [ 2 ] It is not in dispute that FIR No. 22 dated 13.02.2017 under Sections 323, 498-A, 406, 506 IPC has since been registered at Women Police Station, Ambala, against respondents No. 4, 6 and 7. Final report under Section 173 Cr.P.C./challan has been presented against the said respondents. Therefore, no further orders are called for in this respect. Learned counsel for the petitioners however submits that after registration of FIR No.22 dated 13.02.2017 when the petitioners went to village Nagla for recovery of the dowry articles along with the police officials, they were attacked by the in-laws of petitioner No.1. Representation dated 05.04.2017 (Annexure P6) in this respect was submitted. However, no action is being taken by the police authorities.

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case as above but without expressing any opinion on the merits thereof, this petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2 to look into the representation dated 05.04.2017 (Annexure P6) and take appropriate action as may be/if any, required, in accordance with law.
