J U D G M E N T Raman, J. Petitioner seeks for a writ of mandamus or other appropriate direction to the first respondent and to his subordinates not to harass him or his family members on the allegation that he has received some stolen articles. 2. According to the petitioner, he has not received any stolen articles and he is not involved in the offence alleged to have been committed. Learned Government Pleader, on instruction, submits that the petitioner is not arrayed as an accused, But the statement made before the police shows that the petitioner has received the stolen articles. Whether ultimately any stolen articles were accepted by the petitioner or not is a matter for investigation. In sch circumstances, we do not find that merely because the petitioner is called to the police station for questioning him in this regard, there is any harassment. Ii is well settled that in connection with any WP(C) 15528/2009 :2: crime, if the presence of the petitioner is required, police will act in accordance with law. The writ petition is closed P.R.
