In the obtaining facts and circumstances and fitness of things, it shall be appropriate to direct the petitioner to approach respondent 2 No.3/Superintendent of Police with the pending complaint/s, if any, and seek indulgence in the context of direction of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Lalita Kumari (Supra).

This Court hopes and trusts that the Authority concerned shall look into the complaint and take remedial measures, in accordance with law, expeditiously.

With the aforesaid observation and direction, this writ petition stand disposed of.

It is made clear that that Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case.
