Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that complaint was made clearly indicating commission of cognizable offences, yet FIR has not been lodged, as is required under Section 154 Cr.P.C. 3. Learned counsel for the respondent-State contends, on the strength of averments made in the reply, that inquiry was conducted through DSP Headquarter, Sangrur. It has been concluded that incidents have occurred at Patiala and, therefore, the police of police station Ahmedgarh would not have any jurisdiction in the matter. In such circumstances, SSP, Sangrur has referred the matter to SSP, Patiala vide Memo No. 56/PC dated 04.01.2011 for further necessary action. Crl. Misc. No. M-1565 of 2011 2 4. Learned counsel for the respondent-State has not been able to apprise this Court as to what has transpired after the matter was referred to the police at Patiala. 5. In the case in hand, it appears that prima facie inquiry has been conducted so as to deduce whether cognizable offence has been committed or not. During inquiry, it transpired that incidents took place at Patiala and, therefore, the file has been transferred to the office of SSP, Patiala. 6. This petition is disposed of with directions to SSP, Patiala to deal with the issue and take a decision as to whether FIR is to be registered or not within a period of 4 weeks of receipt of certified copy of the order.
