Learned counsel submits that even though, pursuant to representation dated 10.05.2023 (Annexure P-6) given to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Moga, a recommendation for registration of an FIR had been made, however, yet again the official respondents had failed to proceed in accordance with law against respondents No.4 to 11.
