While hearing a petition filed by Bhuj-based Congress leader Adam Chaaki, who alleged that Bhuj city police of Kutch district has not taken any action on his complaint against Swamy, High Court judge J B Pardiwala had yesterday ordered the police to a take a call on the matter.
In the order, Pardiwala stated that police must take a call about registering an FIR after they have already taken an application from the petitioner earlier and also recorded his statement.
