Since no prayer was made by the applicant/complainant before the learned trial Court to take cognizance, therefore, complainant/petitioner is free to file 2 a appropriate complaint seeking a prayer to take cognizance and proceed as per the law. The present petition stands disposed of, so also the pending applications, if any. (Rakesh Kainthla) Judge 06th October, 2026. (ravinder)
