Suffice it to note that the petitioner was arrested in Crime No.8/2018. Thereafter, he was produced before the Magistrate. Before the Magistrate, the petitioner stated that the police officials have not ill-treated him. Thereafter, he makes allegations against the police officials that they have ill-treated him. This contention cannot be accepted. Because of the simple reason is that when he was produced before the Magistrate, he admits that there was no ill-treatment by the police officials. If that be so, the petitioner cannot make any compliant against the police officials. The Writ petition is devoid of merits and it is rejected.
