GOPINATHAN, JJ. ---------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 11044 of 2009 ---------------------------------------------- DATED:APRIL 3, 2009. JUDGMENT Raman, J. The petitioner alleges that she and her son are being harassed by the police. According to her she purchased a 2001 model Ford Type car bearing registration No.KL-01-W-7677 from one Jabir. Alleging that the said vehicle was involved in an abkari offence, the petitioner and her son are often called to the police station. 2. The Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the State submits that in connection with the allegation that the car was involved in an abkari offence, a criminal case is registered as Crime No.9/2009 which is under investigation. Since the petitioner has purchased the vehicle, necessarily her presence is required for further investigation. It is only in that connection she was called to the police station. 3. In the circumstances it cannot be said that there is any harassment meted out to the petitioner and her son. However, if W.P.(C) No. 11044 of 2009 :2: the petitioner and her son have already appeared before the police station on several occasions and if their presence is further required, they will be issued a notice under sec.160. This order will not in any way affect the investigation being conducted in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of as above. P.R. RAMAN, JUDGE. P.S. GOPINATHAN, JUDGE. mt/-
