By The Inspector of Police, Ulagampatti Police Station, Sivagangai District. Crime No.Not Known of 2011 :Respondent PRAYER:Petition is filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to direct the respondent not to harass the petitioners by frequently summoning them to appear before the police Station under the guise of enquiry. For Petitioners: Mr.E.Murugesan For Respondent : Mr.P.Kannithevan, Government Advocate (Crl.Side) ORDER With the strange prayer to direct the respondent - police not to harass the petitioners by frequently summoning them to appear before the police Station under the guise of enquiry, the petitioners have come up with the present Criminal Original Petition. 2.In my considered opinion, if any investigation or enquiry is pending, surely the respondent - police is entitled to summon the petitioners. But un-necessarily, the petitioners should not be summoned and harassed. It is needless to point out that either for investigation or for enquiry, the respondent – police is bound to follow the procedure established under law, more particularly, as per the directions issued by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in D.K.Basu vs. State of West Bengal reported in AIR 1997 SC 610. 3.With the above observation, this Criminal Original Petition is disposed of.
