DATE : 17th SEPTEMBER 2025 P.C. :

1.

At the outset, the learned counsel for the petitioner presses for only prayer clause 'a', which reads thus:- "a Issue a Writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order, or direction, directing Respondent no.1 and 2 to immediately initiate, investigate the complaint filed by the Petitioner."

As far as prayer clauses 'b' to 'd' are concerned, since learned counsel for the petitioner does not press for the said reliefs, we are not required to consider the same.
