WP(C) 4603/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE B D AGARWAL Heard Mr. DK Das, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. P Roy, lear ned Govt. Advocate. The petitioner is praying for a writ of mandamus to the res pondent so as to direct them not to harass the petitioner in the name of investi gation of any case. According to Mr. Das, no case was registered against the p etitioner and despite that, the petitioner was repeatedly summoned by the Hojai Police Station. On the other hand, the learned Govt. Advocate submitted that a case of kidnapping of a girl has been registered against the brother of the pet itioner and in that connection, the petitioner was summoned for interrogation. Under Section 160 of the Cr.P.C., police officers have pow er to require attendance of witnesses. Hence, there is no illegality in interrogating the witness es. However, in future, the Investigating Officer shall adhere to the provision of Section 160 of the Cr.P.C. scrupulously and should not harass the petitioner unnecessarily. With the aforesaid directions, the writ petition stands dis posed of.
