This is a writ petition seeking a direction to the police not to harass the petitioner. Petitioner's brother-in-law is involved in a crime and a F.I.R. is registered as evidenced by Ext.P1. According to the petitioner, he is not involved in the case; still police is coming to his house even during night under the guise of enquiry, which is nothing but a harassment meted out to him. 2. Heard the learned Government Pleader. In case the petitioner is not involved in any criminal case as such, then if his presence is required in connection with any enquiry or investigation, necessarily, police will have to issue notice to the petitioner as contemplated under law, for his presence, whereupon petitioner shall abide by the same. This will safeguard the interest of the petitioner. The writ petition is closed. P.R. RAMAN, (JUDGE) P.S. GOPINATHAN, (JUDGE) KNC/-
