If the allegations of the petitioner have been found true, police is duty bound to take immediate steps for arrest of the accused persons. All these materials, petitioner will be at liberty to bring to the notice of the Superintendent of Police, Supaul for his consideration who will ask for a report in the matter and issue directions to the police authorities for proper and expeditious investigation against the accused persons if the sufficient materials are available against them and to take immediate steps for their arrest.
