HARI RANI,JJ ============================== W.P.(C)NO. 19542 OF 2008 ============================ DATED THIS THE 8TH DAY OF JULY 2008 JUDGMENT Balakrishnan Nair,J. The petitioner is the President of a Charitable Society registered under the provisions of the Travancore Cochin Literary Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act. The 2nd respondent is the Secretary of that society. The said respondent expended some amount for the society for running its day to day business. It was received by the Treasurer under proper voucher. After working for sometime, the petitioner submits, the 2nd respondent was absent from the society and caused to issue Ext.P4 notice claiming an amount of Rs. 2,46,000/-. It appears she has moved the police also and thereafter the first respondent, Circle Inspector of Police, is threatening and harassing the petitioner. In the above background, this writ petition is filed seeking appropriate directions commanding the first respondent not to harass the petitioner for her failure to pay a sum of Rs.2,46,000/- to the 2nd respondent. WPC. 19542/2008 -2- 2. The learned Government Pleader, upon instructions, submitted that based on the complaint filed by the 2nd respondent, a crime has been registered against the petitioner under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code and the police is investigating the crime in accordance with law. This submission is recorded. If the petitioner is aggrieved by the commission or omission of the police, she may work out her remedies available under the Codes of Criminal Procedure and Civil Procedure. The writ petition is disposed of as above. K. BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE M.C. HARI RANI JUDGE ks.
