4. Mr. Kunwarbir Singh, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab, who is present in Court, accepts notice on behalf of the official respondents and on instructions from ASI Sukhjant Singh submits that the matter in dispute was of civil nature and petitioner’s representation though received by officials respondents, did not warrant any action as it was based on mere apprehension.
