-2CRM-M-48697 of 2022 Mr. Adhiraj Singh, AAG, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents No.1 to 3-State. He, on instructions from ASI Khem Chand, submits that the challan has already been filed before the trial Court on 21.11.2022, therefore, prayer in this regard made in the petition has become infructuous.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has submitted representation dated 30.08.2022 (Annexure P-3) seeking protection of her life and liberty and the same may be directed to be considered and decided at the earliest by respondent No.2-Senior Superintendent of Police, Patiala {wrongly typed as District SAS Nagar (Mohali)}.

Accordingly, and without commenting upon the merits of the claim of the petitioner and even the assertions set out in the petition, the same is disposed of only with a direction to respondent No.2 - Senior Superintendent of Police, Patiala that if any such representation, as indicated above, is indeed pending consideration, that shall be dealt with expeditiously in accordance with law by passing a speaking order preferably within four weeks from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order and convey the same to the petitioner. The present petition stands disposed of accordingly. (NAMIT KUMAR) 07.12.2022 JUDGE R.S.
