Be that as it may, in view of the enquiry which has been conducted, if the petitioner is aggrieved, he will approach the jurisdictional Magistrate under the relevant provisions of law. Learned Magistrate would assess and ascertain regarding the correctness of the allegations and thereafter pass necessary directions as he deems fit and proper.
