THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/06/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P.R.RAMAN & K.HEMA, JJ. ----------------------------------------- W.P.(C).NO. 18804 OF 2007 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of June, 2007 JUDGMENT Raman, J. The petitioner, complaining harassment against the police officers, preferred this Writ Petition. On instruction, the learned Government Pleader submitted that they received a complaint from the fifth respondent alleging harassment meted out by the petitioner and necessarily the police will have to enquire into the matter, for which purpose only the petitioner was asked to appear. But, according to the petitioner, even at night time, he was unnecessarily disturbed. We do not interfere with the investigation of the crime or enquiring into a complaint as the case may be by the police. However, that should not result in any harassment. In the circumstances, we direct that if the presence of the petitioner is required in connection with any complaint or crime, the police officer shall issue written notice of the same to the petitioner, whereupon the petitioner shall co-operate with such enquiry. The Writ Petition is closed with the above observation. P.R.RAMAN, JUDGE K.HEMA, JUDGE vgs.
