The petitioner has filed a civil suit against the police officials for permanent injunction restraining them from effecting the recovery. It is pleaded on behalf of the respondent that a criminal complaint has been received and it is the duty of the police official to conduct inquiry. The petitioner is not joining inquiry despite issuance of CRM NO.68414-M of 2006 -2- notice under Section 160 Cr. P. C. Considering the nature of the case and the contents of the reply, this petition is dismissed. It is, however, directed that the petitioner shall be summoned to the Police Station by way of a notice under Section 160 Cr. P. C at the address given in this petition.
