CRWP-7736-2024 -2FIRs against the petitioners and for inquiry of the same, police has called the petitioners, however, they are not cooperating. He has further submitted that no harassment, as alleged, is being made to them. However, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have also filed a representation, Annexure P-18, before respondent No.2 on 05.07.2024, however no action has been taken on the same till today.
