Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.CH.DHANAMJAYA Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR HOME The Court at the stage of admission made the following : ORAL ORDER: Heard both sides. Perused the material placed before me. The grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that the respondents are calling him quite often to the police station, without there being any valid reason, and they are interfering with the civil disputes. It is needless to say that the police shall not deviate from their official duties and interfere with the settlement of civil disputes. An impression shall not be given to the public that the police are exceeding their limits by interfering with the private affairs of the public. However, if there is any complaint lodged by anybody, necessary investigation, in accordance with law, undoubtedly, can be initiated against the person so responsible. With the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. No costs. ------------------------- kvsn 07-04-2005 Note: Issue CC by tomorrow.
