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

By way of present petition filed under Section 482 CrPC, prayer has been made for issuance of directions to respondents No.1 to 4 to take necessary action in FIR No.7 dated 13.01.2024 registered under Sections 452 and 323 of IPC at P.S. Dasuya, District Hoshiarpur. 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 No.1 to 4 to decide the representation (Annexure P-2) moved at the instance of petitioner by passing a speaking order expeditiously. 3.

Prayer seems to be justified.

4.

Upon advance notice, Mr. Athar Ahmed, DAG, Punjab appears on behalf of respondents and raises no objection to the innocuous prayer made on behalf of the petitioner.
