Officer, Madanayakanahalli Police Station on 30.07.2021. Taking note of the said letter, the Police Inspector has issued an endorsement at Annexure-A dated:02.10.2021, stating that the complaint relates to civil in nature, hence, he has closed the compliant. The petitioner's grievance about impersonation cannot be decided by the Police Authorities. Hence, the action on the part of the Police Authorities is just and proper.
I find no grounds to interfere and the quash Annexure-A. The Writ Petition is devoid of merits and the same is liable to be dismissed. 5. Resultantly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. Sd/- (JYOTI MULIMANI) JUDGE MRP List No.: 2 Sl No.: 45
