TO JUDGE. svs R.BASANT & K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JJ. ------------------------------------------- WPC No.8181 of 2011 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 23rd March, 2011 JUDGMENT Basant, J. The petitioner is the husband. Second respondent is his wife. There is some strain in the matrimony and the petitioner had initiated matrimonial proceedings for divorce against the second respondent. That petition was withdrawn. But, subsequently, at the instance of the second respondent, the first respondent, a police official, is unnecessarily vexing and harassing the petitioner. This in short is the complaint. It is prayed that directions under Article 226 may be issued to put an end to such vexation and harassment. 2. The second respondent has entered appearance. The counsel asserts that the second respondent has no intention to vex or harass the petitioner by herself or by prevailing upon the first respondent. 3. The learned Government Pleader, after taking instructions from the first respondent submits that a WPC No.8181/2011 2 complaint was received in the name of the friend of the second respondent raising allegations against the petitioner. Parties were called to the Police Station. Police are now satisfied that no action deserves to be taken on that complaint. In these circumstances, the first respondent submits that the petitioner shall not be called to the Police Station in connection with any dispute with the second respondent. The petitioner need not apprehend any vexation or harassment at the hands of the first respondent, submits the learned Government Pleader. 4. We accept the submissions of the learned Government Pleader on behalf of the first respondent. We are satisfied that no further directions are necessary in this matter now. 5. Recording the above submission of the learned Government Pleader, this writ petition is dismissed. R.BASANT JUDGE K.SURENDRA MOHAN JUDGE css/
