In the present work, we study the possible production of the heavy neutral dark gauge boson (A$^{\prime}$) candidates, which originated from a simplified model based on the Einstein-Cartan gravity, in association with dark matter. This study has been performed by studying events with dimuon plus missing transverse energy produced in the simulated proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider, at 13.6 TeV center of mass energy and integrated luminosity of 52 fb$^{-1}$ corresponding to the LHC RUN III circumstances. We provide upper limits, in case no new physics has been discovered, on the masses for various particles in the model as, spin-1 (A$^{\prime}$), as well as the heavy mediator (torsion field).<br/>arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2304.09483<br/>
