DATE : 24th August 2011 PC : 1.

The said advocate informed the police officer that the petitioner was contemplating to initiate criminal action in Chhatisgarh. It is for this reason that the concerned police officer did not pursue the matter any further. The learned APP submits that notwithstanding the above, if the petitioner visits the local police station to record his statement, the local police station will do the needful and if the statement discloses cognizable offence, an FIR will be registered for appropriate offences as may be warranted on the basis of such statement. 2 2.
