Mr. Imran Farooqi, Advocate for the petitioner.

2.

Learned counsel for the petitioner, inter alia, contends that the petitioner, at whose instant the FIR in question which has been annexed as Annexure P-1, came to be lodged, has been facing threats to his life and liberty at the hands of private respondents i.e. the accused, who have been threatening him with dire consequences. Learned counsel submits that a representation had also been given in the said regard on 22.04.2024 (Annexure P-2) to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Malerkotla, however, in vain.
