WP(C) 1412/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR. MADAN B. LOKUR HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE A.C. UPADHYAY This petition has been filed alleging harassment by the police. It appears that the father of the petitioner was undergoing life imprisonment. H e was granted leave for 20 days some time in 2008. At that time, he stayed with the petitioner. After the leave period was over, the father of the petitioner di d not report back to the jail authorities and has been absconding since then. According to police, they had visited the house of the petitioner to make enquir ies with the intention of searching out the absconding convict. It is stated by the police authorities in their affidavit in opposition filed by Sri Surendra Ku mar on 4.4.2011 that there is no intention of harassing the petitioner - only en quiries of the whereabouts of the convict are sought to be made so that he can s erve out his sentence. According to learned counsel for the petitioner, full co-operation has been exte nded to the police authorities and the petitioner is now not aware about the whe reabouts of the convict. That being the position, enquiries by the police will perhaps continue till the convict surrenders. We think it appropriate to direct the police to continue its enquiries, but they will not harass the petitioner in any manner whatsoever. Learned counsel for the petitioner says that his client will co-operate with the police authorities and even if no enquiries are made by the police authorities, if the information of the whereabouts of the convict is received by the petitio ner, it will be supplied to the police authorities immediately. In view of the above, no further order is required to be passed in this writ pet ition. Writ petition is closed in terms of the above.
