Petitioner seeks for a direction to the first respondent to issue appropriate direction to the second respondent and other Station House Officers not to harass him and force him to part with gold. 2. According to the petitioner, he is conducting a jewellery by name 'Aysha Jewellery' at Varkala. It is alleged that the second respondent has rushed to the petitioner's jewellery, took him to the police station and threatened him and forced him to give the quantity of gold demanded by him stating that some persons who have been arrested in connection with theft stated that they have given the gold to him. No specific instances are stated in the writ petition. It is too late to be enquired into. In Para 3 of the statement of facts, it is alleged that the Sub Inspector of Police, Kollam East Police Station forcefully took the petitioner from the jewellery in his jeep to the police station and made him to stand there for five hours. But this Sub Inspector of Police is not made a party to the writ petition. In this WP(C) 35571/2009 2 situation, no effective relief could be granted to the petitioner. However, if any of the grievance of the petitioner still remains not redressed, he can, with details, raise such grievance before the Superintendent of Police under whose jurisdiction the alleged police officer is working, so that the superior officer could enquire into the same and if there is any prima facie case made out, he will take remedial measures. With the above observation, the writ petition is dismissed. P.R. RAMAN, JUDGE. P.S. GOPINATHAN, JUDGE. KNC/-
