Versus

State of Punjab & ors.

...... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE MANJARI NEHRU KAUL Present :

Mr. Vishal Goel, Advocate for the petitioner.

**** Manjari Nehru Kaul, J.(Oral) Prayer in the instant petition is for issuance of appropriate directions to respondent No.2 to look into the complaint/representation dated 03.07.2023 (Annexure P-1) made by the petitioner to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Mohali.

Learned counsel submits that despite representation dated 03.07.2023 (Annexure P-1) having been made to respondent No.2 qua the crime committed by the private respondents, the authorities concerned had failed to initiate any action against the them. Learned counsel contends that since the private respondents were involved in the commission of cognizable offences, the official respondents were under a legal obligation to proceed against them under the provisions of law. A prayer has been made by the learned counsel that she would be satisfied if the respondent No.2 is directed to look into her representation dated 03.07.2023 (Annexure P-1) and take appropriate steps in accordance with law.
