TRUE COPY P.A. TO JUDGE C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. .................................................................... W.P.(C) No.1205 of 2004 .................................................................... Dated this the 22nd day of March, 2007. JUDGMENT Heard counsel for the petitioner and Government Pleader. Even though petitioner's case is that her husband died of Police harassment, it is proved by records that petitioner's husband was found dead in a well. Police appears to have chased him and in the night he fell in the well which did not have a compound wall. The cause of death as per Post Mortem report is drowning. I do not think death of petitioner's husband can be related to Police harassment. In the circumstances, W.P. is dismissed. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
