TO JUDGE Mn R.BASANT & K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JJ. ------------------------------------------- WPC No.12751 of 2011 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd June, 2011 JUDGMENT Basant, J. The petitioner, a Company, engaged in the business of courier service, has come to this Court with this petition seeking issue of directions to respondents 1 to 3 who allegedly are indulging in unjustified vexation and harassment of the petitioner at the instance of the fourth respondent. 2. According to the petitioners, respondent No.4 had entrusted a consignment for conveyance. That consignment is lost. There is no element of any crime involved. However, succumbing to the influence of the fourth respondent, the police are indulging in unnecessary vexation and harassment of the petitioner. It is in these circumstances that the petitioner has come to this Court. 3. Respondent No.4 has not been served. We do not think it necessary to wait for the service of the fourth respondent any more. The learned Government Pleader, after taking instructions, submits that it is true that a complaint was received by the police. The same was looked into. Parties were called to the Police Station. The police are now satisfied that there are no WPC No.12751/2011 2 elements of any crime. No crime has been registered. It is incorrect to say that there was any harassment or vexation against the petitioner. The facts had to be ascertained and that alone was done when the complaint of the fourth respondent was received. The fourth respondent has now agreed that he shall seek relief from the Consumer Districts Redressel Forum, it is submitted. 4. The learned Government Pleader submits that it may be recorded that respondents 1 to 3 do not require the presence of the petitioner now. If in future, such presence of the petitioner or any employee of the petitioner becomes necessary, proper notice in accordance with law shall be issued before such presence is insisted, submits the learned Government Pleader. 5. We are, in these circumstances, satisfied that no further specific directions are necessary. 6. In the result, this writ petition is dismissed accepting the submissions of the learned Government Pleader. sd/- R.BASANT JUDGE sd/- K.SURENDRA MOHAN JUDGE css/ true copy P.S.TO JUDGE
