A counter has been filed on behalf of the official respondents denying all the allegations and stating that except investigating the complaint filed by Rohit Dhingra, partner of M/s Delta Computer Technologies, Secunderabad about cheating of money of Rs.7,86,500/- by the son of the petitioner to the de facto complainant and a tune of Rs.41 lakhs and Rs.15 lakhs to several others, there was no illegal harassment or settlement of dues. It is stated that on the said complaint a case in Crime No.219 of 2001 for the offence under Section 420 IPC was registered and investigation is being taken up. Except conducting investigation in the pending crime, the police have not taken any action against the petitioner or his son. Having regard to the facts of the case, as the criminal case is pending, it is the duty of the police to investigate the case fairly and therefore, it cannot be said that the police are illegally interfering with the civil disputes. Hence, the writ petition is misconceived and is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ V.ESWARAIAH, J.
