JUDGMENT Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J.: The petitioner seeks an order against police harassment. He states that he was an employee of Kerala State Audio Visual Reprographic Centre, which is not a party to this writ petition. We had the privilege of perusing the order keeping the petitioner under suspension. It shows that the petitioner and others are alleged to have obstructed the discharge of duties and responsibilities of a person who was transferred into the office where the petitioner and others were working. Going by the statements in that order of suspension, we find possibility of the employer having instituted a criminal complaint, WP(C)38287/08 -: 2 :- at least, before the police officer having jurisdiction. In such event, there would be an enquiry followed by investigation, if necessary. Though the petitioner states that no crime has been registered, we are not inclined to treat it as a case where the police could be accused of having been harassing the petitioner or his family. We have also gone through the contents of Ext.P1 representation. Barring the vague statements of harassment, there is really no harassment made out. We are satisfied that even if the petitioner is summoned to the police station, that would not be a harassment provided such summoning is done in accordance with law. We, therefore, do not find any ground to issue any orders. The writ petition is closed without prejudice. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN,Judge. Sd/- T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, Judge. Sha/301208
