It is also pertinent to mention here that despite repeated efforts, the complainant Gurdeep Kaur could not be contacted as she has not provided any mobile number or current address in her complaint. Therefore, her personal statement could not be recorded. In light of the above facts and the statements of the alleged persons, no threat perception has been found at this stage, and no further action is warranted in this matter. Accordingly, this complaint is being filed in the record room. A copy of this speaking order is being placed on the record. If the complainant is not satisfied with this speaking order, she may file an appeal after receiving this order ” In the light of above, learned counsel for the petitioners prays for withdrawal of the present petition. Prayer is accepted. Dismissed as withdrawn. However, the petitioners would be at liberty to avail alternate remedy by way of appeal as per notification No.HOME-HM-40 40SECM/14/2025-2H4/63 dated 23.01.2025 issued by the Department of Home Affairs, Punjab, Government of Punjab (Home-4 Branch).
