As no action has been taken on the said representation as well, the present petition has been filed.

24.02.2025 was enquired into by the Assistant Commissioner of Police, CCB-III, in C.No.244/2025 and upon finding that the dispute between the parties is civil in nature, the complaint was closed on 19.04.2025.
