In his affidavit, the petitioner stated that there were certain business dealings between one Mohsin Bin Hussain A1-Kasary and respondent No.3 in connection with purchase of two Swaraj Sartaj vehicles. As disputes arose in that connection, the said Mohsin Bin Hussain A1-Kasary filed a complaint against respondent No.3, which was registered as Crime No.48 of 2008 by respondent No.2 and that the petitioner was shown as L.W.4 in the said case. The grievance of the petitioner is that though his statement was recorded by the police on 26.02.2008, again, he was summoned on 13.03.2008 by respondent No.2 to the Police Station. The petitioner termed this action as harassment on account of collusion between respondent Nos.3 and 2. At the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, on instructions, submitted that the petitioner’s statement has not been recorded and respondent No.2 is not indulging in harassment. She further stated that if the petitioner’s presence is required as a witness for giving any statement, respondent No.2 may summon him by issuing notice under Section 160 Cr.P.C. and that respondent No.2 has no intention of harassing the petitioner. The above-mentioned statement of the learned Assistant Government Pleader is taken on record and the writ petition is disposed of accordingly. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP.No.8104 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 1st APRIL, 2008 kvni
