Short facts of the case are that the petitioner is a poor labourer by profession who earns his livelihood through daily wages and supports his family with great hardship. He is a permanent resident of Village Koksingh Ka Pura, Roar, Police Station Ambah, District Morena, Madhya Pradesh, and was residing at Gwalior for employment purposes. The petitioner has four children, including two sons and two daughters. His eldest son, Rajneesh Sakhwar, was of marriageable age and his marriage had been fixed in the year 2024. The ceremony of Phaldan was scheduled to be held on 19.04.2024 and the marriage ceremony on 23.04.2024. On 15.04.2024, when the petitioner returned home in the evening, he did not find his son Rajneesh at home. Upon inquiry, his daughter Pooja informed him that Rajneesh had left the house at about 6:30 PM to distribute wedding invitation cards. The petitioner contacted Rajneesh on his mobile phone, whereupon Rajneesh informed him that he was at City Centre, Gwalior, and would return home within an hour. However, Rajneesh did not return home for a long time, and when the petitioner again attempted to contact him, his mobile phone was found switched off. Despite waiting for several hours and making extensive efforts, the petitioner was unable to trace his son. Consequently, on 17.04.2024, the petitioner along with his wife Babita Sakhwar approached Police Station Morar, District Gwalior, and lodged a missing person report, which was registered as Missing Person Registration No.36/2024. Despite continuous efforts made by the petitioner and his family members to locate Rajneesh, no information regarding his whereabouts could be gathered. During the course of searching for his son, the petitioner came to know that Rajneesh was in regular contact with Ms. Poonam Jarseniya, a resident of Sikandar Kampoo, Bandha Ka Para, Lashkar, Gwalior, who was a married woman. It was also revealed that due to this relationship, her family members used to threaten Rajneesh. Apprehending that some untoward incident might have been caused to his son, the petitioner, through his wife, submitted a written complaint dated 15.05.2024 to the Superintendent of Police, Gwalior, expressing grave suspicion against the said persons. As no effective steps were taken by the respondent police authorities to trace Rajneesh, the petitioner was co
