There cannot be any dispute that it is statutory duty of the Police to register a case and conduct investigation in accordance with law, provided cognizable offence is made out. Hence, without entering into the merits of the case, writ petition is disposed of directing the third respondent to take appropriate decision on the complaint of the petitioner, dated 11-06-2005, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ K.C.BHANU, J. 30th September, 2005 skmr
