Petitioner approached this court complaining of Police harassment. According to the petitioner the second respondent has demanded certain amounts from him, in the process of investigation. Apart from his official capacity, the second respondent is not impleaded on the party array as eo-nominee and therefore, this court would not be justified in conducting any enquiry on such an allegation. Be that as it may, learned Government Pleader, on instruction, submits that the petitioner is an accused in various crimes involving money transactions within the jurisdiction of various Police Stations and apparently this writ petition is filed only with oblique motives. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner has been enlarged on bail in all other crimes and yet the Police is harassing him and members of his family. Though the petitioner is a person enlarged on bail, W.P(C)No.28909 of 2009 -:2:- it cannot be said that there cannot be any further investigation in respect of the crimes or other crimes. Learned Government Pleader submits that apart from the lawful discharge of the duties the Police will not cause any harassment in the process of investigation. Therefore, this writ petition is dismissed, in view of the submission made above by the learned Government Pleader. It is made clear that the Police shall be at liberty to conduct any investigation in respect of any complaint or crime, in accordance with law. (KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE) (C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) ahg.
