The relevant facts of the case, which borne out from the record, are as under:- (i) A letter dated 22.10.2018 was sent by the applicant/Rakesh Kumar Mishra to Command Officer, under whom the husband namely Ravi Kumar Mishra of the complainant/opposite party No. 2/Smt. Archana Mishra was discharging his duties. (ii) According to the letter dated 22.10.2018, the wife namely Smt. Anju Mishra of the applicant saw the complainant/opposite party No. 2 in compromising position/situation with her father-in-law (father of the applicant). A copy of this letter has been placed on record as Annexure No. 3 to the instant application. (iii) After the aforesaid letter dated 22.10.2018 sent by the applicant to the Command Officer, a letter/notice dated 30.01.2019 was sent by the complainant/opposite party No. 2 through counsel to the applicant. (iv) The aforesaid letter/notice dated 30.01.2019 prima facie indicates that the letter dated 22.10.2018 was opened by the concerned Command Officer and after going through the allegations levelled by the applicant therein against the complainant/opposite party No. 2 she was informed and therefore, the notice dated 30.01.2019 was sent by her to the applicant. (v) The husband (Ravi Kumar Mishra) and mother-in-law (Smt.
