It is the complaint of the petitioner that the respondent and his staff have been harassing the petitioner particularly during night time. It is not known under what circumstances the petitioner and his family members are being disturbed, harassed, and are being put to embarrassment by the respondent and his staff members under the guise of investigation. No doubt, ‘investigation’ has some meaning and purpose. But, It is the duty of the police to keep up the same. Investigation can be done by the police, but not at the cost of peace and other rights of the petitioner and his family members. With the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage. ----------------- D.S.R.Varma,J 05-4-2005 Note: Operative portion to be communicated by wire at party’s cost.
