PRAYER : Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for issuance of Writ of Mandamus, to direct the respondents 1 and 2 to conclude an enquiry and take appropriate action against the respondents 3 to 5 based on the petitioner's representation dated 17.03.2026.

ORDER

This writ petition has been filed seeking for a direction to the respondents 1 and 2 to conclude an enquiry and take appropriate action against the respondents 3 to 5 based on the petitioner's representation dated 17.03.2026.

2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that, when the petitioner sought partition of the family properties, a dispute arose between the petitioner and the private respondents, who are none other than the siblings of the petitioner. The learned counsel further submitted that, owing to the said property dispute, the private respondents have been continuously threatening the petitioner with dire consequences. It was further contended that the third respondent is the wife of the petitioner and that respondents 4 and 5 are henchmen acting at the instance of the third respondent. According to the petitioner, all the respondents are continuously intimidating and threatening the petitioner. The petitioner had already lodged a complaint before the concerned police authorities. However, no effective action has been taken on the said complaint. Thereafter, the petitioner submitted a representation to the authorities concerned seeking protection and appropriate action, but the same was not considered. Hence, the present writ petition has been filed.

3. The learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondent police submitted that the narration put forth by the learned counsel for the petitioner is entirely different from the actual facts and circumstances of the case. According to the learned Government Advocate, the dispute pertains to the partition of a common property between the petitioner and the third respondent, and the petitioner is attempting to give a criminal colour to what is essentially a civil dispute.

4. Heard the learned counsels on either sides and carefully perused the materials placed before this Court. Since no adverse order is likely to be passed against the private respondents, notice to them is dispensed with.

5. Considering the plight of the petitioner that her representation is not considered sofar, the second respondent police is directed to consider the petitioner's representation dated 17.03.2026 and conduct an enquiry in this regard, after issuing summons to the parties concerned, under Section 64 of the BNSS, and conclude the same, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The first respondent is directed to monitor the investigation being conducted by the second respondent. Further, the second respondent is also directed to apprise the progress of the investigation to the first respondent on every Friday.

6. This writ petition is disposed with the above directions.
