Petitioner has approached this court complaining that respondents 1 to 3 officers of the police are harassing him in connection with an incident where the petitioner's brother Shafeer eloped with Shahnas, daughter of the 4th respondent. According to the petitioner, he has no involvement in the matter and he is being unnecessarily harassed. Learned Government Pleader on the basis of the instructions received from the police submitted that the police has registered a crime for kidnapping (365 IPC) against three persons including the petitioner who is the 3rd accused in the above crime. In view of the submission of the learned Government Pleader it cannot be said that the action of the police in seeking attendance of the petitioner is harassment. We decline the relief sought for and permit the petitioner to seek remedies which are available to him under the Cr.P.C. against the crime already registered. PIUS C.
