But the police never called the petitioners to the police station and their rights were never interfered with. 3. In view of the aforesaid averments made in the counter denying the allegations of the petitioners, I am of the opinion that no further orders are required to be passed in the writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ V. ESWARAIAH, J April 2, 2008 DSK
