Petitioner approached this court complaining of harassment by the Police. The allegation is that the harassment is at the instance of the 4th respondent. Learned counsel for the 4th respondent submits that the petitioner has cheated the 4th respondent and hence she had filed a complaint before the Police and apart from that she has taken no other steps. Learned Government Pleader, on instruction, submits that the Police only conducted a lawful enquiry on the petition received by them from the 4th respondent and in that process there is no harassment. These submissions are recorded. The writ petition is hence disposed of making it clear that in case the petitioner has still any grievance with regard to the conduct of enquiry/investigation it will be open to the petitioner to approach the Magistrate of competent jurisdiction.
