This is a matter which appropriately should be taken by the regular bench as per the roster, given the nature of the averments in the petition. It is made clear that this vacation bench is not expressing any opinion one way or the other regarding the correctness of the said averments,” said the court.
Advocate Sameer Vashist, representing the police, earlier told the court that attempts were made to contact the woman at the address provided in the petition but she could not be traced. Advocate Tanya Agarwal, representing the woman, told the court that given the apprehensions, she has had to repeatedly change the address and will provide the current location to the counsel representing the police
