In the instant case, the authorities have duly followed prescribed procedure. There is proper appreciation of evidence on record. The petitioner was found guilty of charge framed against him. It was proved that petitioner sent messages and made whatsapp call at odd hours. The complainant did not concede that she had filed a false report. She simply stated that she does not want to pursue. It does not absolve petitioner from his ill deeds. In these facts and circumstances, this Court does not find it appropriate either to interfere with findings of authorities or look into quantum of punishment awarded to him.
CWP No. 12831 of 2025 (O&M) -69.
In the backdrop, this Court is of the considered opinion that the present petition being bereft of merit deserves to be dismissed and accordingly hereby dismissed.
