Originally, the Petitioners/complainant lodged a complaint under Section 210, 223 read with 175 of ‘the BNSS’ against the Respondent No.5, that complaint was forwarded by the learned Jurisdictional Magistrate to Respondent No.4 who in turn as mentioned supra registered a case.

Learned Assistant Government Pleader, instructions Respondent No.4 submits that the Respondent No.4 not pressurised the Petitioner to withdraw the case; he has conducted investigation by examining some of the witnesses; there is a land dispute pending between the Petitioner and in that regard, he addressed a letter to the Tahsildar.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the Investigating Officer/Respondent No.4 to expedite the process of investigation and file chargesheet/final report in accordance 3 with law, without insisting the Petitioner to compromise the case with Respondent No.5. No order as to costs. As a sequel, interlocutory applications, if any pending, shall stand closed. Dated: 21.01.2026 VTS _________________________ Dr. Y. LAKSHMANA RAO, J
