As per the provisions of the Act, the Deputy Superintendent of Police is the competent authority to enquire into the said case and that the investigation done by his predecessor in office, reveals that he had examined as many as 21 witnesses. Their investigation disclosed that the writ 4th respondent did not commit any offence. Therefore, the police referred the matter; by filing report before the competent Court as it was a false case. As seen from the records, a final report was also filed before the Court on 17.12.2004, after duly served notice on the petitioner. Even, the petitioner did not complain the same to the concerned Magistrate when she was brought before the Magistrate on 5.7.2005.
