ORDER
This petition has been filed for issuance of Writ of Mandamus, directing the respondents 1 and 2 to take necessary action based on the representation given by the petitioner dated 17.08.2026 within a stipulated time as fixed by this Court.
2. Mr.D.Rajaboopathy, learned Government Advocate, (Crl. Side) takes notice for the respondents. Heard the counsel on either side and perused the records.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner attempted to file the representation before the second respondent. However, the second respondent did not receive the same. Therefore, on the same date, the representation was sent to the first respondent by post, and the first respondent received the same. There is also proof of acknowledgment by way of an acknowledgment card. However, no action has been taken by the respondents. Hence, this petition has been filed.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Criminal) submitted that no such petition was either given to the second respondent or received by the second respondent from the higher authorities. If the petitioner is interested in filing such a representation before the second respondent, the same will be received and the second respondent will consider the same in accordance with law.
5. Recording the above submission, the petition is disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to file a fresh representation before the second respondent in person and thereafter assist the police in the enquiry by giving his statement, producing the necessary documents, and cooperating with the recording of his statement, etc. The second respondent is directed to consider the petition, if any, given by the petitioner and take appropriate action in accordance with law. Thereafter, the second respondent shall pass appropriate orders within a period of 12 weeks. 09.09.2026 TM To
