1.
The present PIL has been filed under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus by directing respondent Nos.1 & 2 to implement the order dated 20.03.2025 (Annexure P-2) & to consider and decide the representation dated 12.05.2025 (Annexure P-5) raising grievance that despite prohibitive order inviting penal consequences for non-compliance of the
order dated 20.03.2025 (Annexure P-2) passed by the District Magistrate, Yamuna Nagar, no FIR has been lodged, despite petitioner having approached the police alleging breach of the said order of the District Magistrate, Yamuna Nagar.
2.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that since only the concerned competent authority can lodge the FIR and not any member of the general public, the petitioner is handicapped and, thus, has approached this Court.

3.
Since the petitioner has preferred the representation dated 12.05.2025 (Annexure P-5) to the Deputy Commissioner, Yamuna Nagar, this Court deems it appropriate to dispose of the present writ petition with direction to the concerned authority to consider and decide the said representation by passing a speaking order and communicating the same to the petitioner and taking remedial steps, if the grievance raised is found to be genuine, but in accordance with law.
