The petitioner has approached this Court, alleging that the Police are harassing him in connection with the missing of one Mr.Purushothaman, who is the son of the additional 5th respondent. The petitioner is working in the Gulf. He was instrumental in taking Mr.Purushothaman to the Gulf and arranging some job for him. But, after some time, his whereabouts were not known. The 5th respondent approached this Court seeking appropriate reliefs against the Police for not properly investigating into the missing of her son. Thereafter, the Police registered a crime and as part of the investigation, several persons, including the petitioner were questioned. In that process, the petitioner felt that he was being harassed and therefore, this Writ Petition was filed seeking appropriate reliefs against the Police. The learned Government Pleader upon instruction submitted that the investigation is already over and the final report under Section 173 Cr.PC. has been filed before the court concerned on 10.07.2007. In view of the above submission, there is no occasion for any WPC 25014/07 2 further alleged harassment of the petitioner. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is closed.
