As regards relief nos.1 to 5 are concerned, the petitioner, who is a practicing Advocate of this Court, appears in person, and states that the FIRs were lodged and subsequently settlement/compromise has been arrived at, therefore, those reliefs have become of no use, however, he wishes to press relief no.(vi).

We grant liberty to the petitioner herein to move an appropriate application before the Director General of Police, U.P. raising his grievance with regard to the said subject matter, but before it, it would be better if he seeks information from the Director General of Police himself as to what is the mechanism put in place as of now for protecting the rights of those who visit the police stations whether on being summoned by the police personnel under any statute or on their own so that they are not ill-treated, harassed in any manner.
