However, the Inspector should have registered a regular first information report (&#8216;FIR&#8217;) of &#8216;man-missing&#8217; when the complaint was given to him, instead, the family was made to run from pillar to post and ultimately, after great persuasion, the FIR was registered.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Further, it said that there is sufficient force in the grievance ventilated by the family of the corpus, that if the police had acted with readiness, it would have been able to trace the corpus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court directed the police inspector to continue with the investigation and take effective steps to find the whereabouts of the missing person. Further, directed the police to take note of the guidelines issued by this Court in <i>K.
