Upon consideration of the submission made on behalf of the parties, this Court is inclined to hold that in the event the petitioner is aggrieved by the fact that the police is silent over the complaint lodged by her, she is at liberty to approach the jurisdictional Magistrate under Section 175 of the BNSS for redressal of her grievance. In the meantime, the police authority shall keep strict vigil over the area in order to avoid any untoward incident due to the strained relationship between the parties. The police shall also render necessary assistance/protection to the petitioner as and when sought. With the above observation and direction, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall, however, be no order as to costs. Since no affidavit is invited, the allegations contained in the writ petition are deemed not to have been admitted. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Suvra Ghosh, J.)
