The petitioner - a woman, has come to this Court raising the grievance that police officials - respondents 2 and 3 are indulging in vexatious harassment of the petitioner at the instance of the 4th respondent. It is, in these circumstances, prayed that directions may be issued under Art.226 of the Constitution to put an end to such unjustified harassment directed against the petitioner. 2. The 4th respondent has not entered appearance so far. We do not think it necessary to wait any longer for the same. We have heard the learned Government Pleader. The learned Government Pleader submits that on 21/6/10 the 4th respondent had approached the police with a complaint against the petitioner. The complaint did not reveal allegations of commission of any crime. A grievance was raised that amounts due to the 4th respondent were not being paid by the petitioner. The police concluded that the dispute was a monetary dispute which the parties must settle by resort to the civil process. The W.P.(C) No. 7903 of 2011 -: 2 :- fact was recorded in the petition register and the parties were sent away. The police have no intention to intervene in the monetary dispute between the petitioner and the 4th respondent. Undertaking of respondents 2 and 3 may be recorded that the petitioner shall not be called to the Police Station in connection with the monetary dispute which he has with the 4th respondent. In these circumstances, there is no need to issue any directions under Art.226 of the Constitution, submits the learned Government Pleader. 3. We have considered all the relevant inputs. We are satisfied that the submissions of the learned Government Pleader can be accepted. We specifically record the submission that on the grievance raised by the 4th respondent of non-payment of money to her by the petitioner, the petitioner shall not be called to the Police Station or in any manner vexed by the police hereafter. Recording the said submission of the learned Government Pleader, this writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- R. BASANT (Judge) Sd/- K. SURENDRA MOHAN (Judge) Nan/ //true copy// P.S. to Judge
