WP(C) 3378/2003 BEFORE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR RS GARG HON’BLE MR JUSTICE H BARUAH Heard Ms H Kakati, learned counsel for the petitioner and Ms B Gogoi, learned co unsel for the State. The matter is finally heard. By this petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India the peti tioner is seeking a writ of prohibition against the official respondents (not ma de parties by name) that they should not illegally exercise their power and infl uence and be restrained from harassing the petitioner and extorting money from h im. We could certainly take up the issue and issue some appropriate directio ns if the allegations were made against named persons. The respondent No.2 and 3 have been joined in their official capacity and in such circumstances it would not be possible for the High Court to issue any direction. It is, however, made clear that if the petitioner is harassed by any police personnel/officer then he would be free to approach the appropriate criminal court for taking appropriate court action against such police personnel/officer. The petition is finally disposed of.
