The prayer made in this writ petition is for a writ of mandamus commanding the respondent not to harass the petitioners by summoning them to the police station and making them to wait for long hours without any reason. There is a further prayer to command the respondent not to harass the petitioner by demanding execution of documents which they are not legally liable to execute. Yet another prayer is for a direction commanding the respondent to register a crime before summoning the petitioners to the police station. None of the reliefs sought for can be granted as they are misconceived. However, if there is any civil dispute, it is not a matter for the police to interfere except where there is a case of criminal trespass. If any complaint against the petitioner is received, for the purpose of inquire into the same police can question the petitioner after issuing notice in that regard. However, when he appears before the police WP(C) 18418/2009 :2: station, it is only proper that the questioning may be done at the earliest. The writ petition is disposed of as above. P.R. RAMAN, JUDGE. P. BHAVADASAN, JUDGE. KNC/-
