This is a petition for police harassment. It is submitted by the Govt. Pleader that there were several crimes registered from the local area relating to the disputes between NDF and RSS and petitioner was a member of RSS and he is not an accused in any crime, but it is reported that he is instigating. Govt. Pleader also submitted that after registration of M.C. No.77/2006, there are no crimes in the area in connection with the communal disputes. The maintenance of law and order is a matter to the police as well as the statutory authorities and this Court ordinarily will not interfere in such matters. We dispose of the writ petition directing the authorities that every such precautionary action should be according to law only. (J.B. Koshy, Judge.) (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
