According to me, when a complaint given by the petitioner discloses a cognizable offence, a duty is cast upon the respondent Police to register a case and thereafter, they must conduct an enquiry and without registering a case they should not conduct enquiry, if any cognizable offence is made out on the complaint given by the petitioner. Hence, the 2nd respondent is directed to register a case, if the complaint discloses a cognizable offence. 4. With the above observation, this petition is disposed of.
