1.

The petitioners have filed this petition seeking direction to

respondent Nos. 2 and 3 to take action against respondent Nos. 4 to 6 as per

representations dated 5.6.2017, 9.6.2017 and 12.6.2017 (Annexures P-1 to

P-3) respectively submitted before Senior Superintendent of Police, District

Sangrur(respondent No.2).

2.

It is the case of the petitioners that petitioner No.1 was married

with respondent No.4 Harjit Singh on 11.8.2011. A girl namely Husanpreet

Kaur was born from this wedlock on 26.06.2012. After some time,

respondent Nos. 4 to 6 started demanding dowry from the petitioners. The

husband of the petitioner used to beat her under the influence of drugs and

he always threatened petitioner No.1 that he will throw acid on her face

which will make her life hell and also threatened to commit suicide, and

involve her alongwith her family members in false cases. Petitioner No.1

was given beatings by respondent No.4 on 28.05.2017. Since 28.05.2017

petitioner no.1 is living with her parents. Even thereafter respondent No.4

has been repeatedly threatening petitioner no.1 that he would throw acid on

her face and damage her face entirely. It is further averred in the petition

that to the knowledge of petitioner no.1, respondent No.4 is always

carrying bottle of acid with him.

3.

Learned counsel for the petitioners states that though

representations (Annexures P-1 to P-3) having been submitted by the

petitioners before respondent No.2 requesting that action be taken against

respondent Nos. 4 to 6 but no action thereon has been taken so far.

4.

In view of the above, the present petition is disposed of with a

direction to respondent No.2 to look into the representations submitted by

the petitioners and take such action as may be warranted in law.
