Counsel for the Petitioners: MR.V.RAGHUNATH Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR HOME The Court made the following: THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA WRIT PETITION NO.3403 of 2005 ORDER: The grievance of the petitioners is that the police have been unnecessarily harassing the family members of the second petitioner. The second petitioner is the husband of the first petitioner and their marriage appears to have been performed much against the will of the parents of the first petitioner. The first petitioner gave a complaint on 21.02.2005 alleging that she is a major, studying Ist year Graduation and requested the police not to interfere with her matrimonial life basing on any false complaint made by her elder brother. No family member of the second petitioner gave any complaint of this nature to the police. Only on the complaint given by the first petitioner, it could be seen that a complaint was lodged by the elder brother of the first petitioner, but nothing of that sort is available on record. It means that the really aggrieved persons, who are allegedly harassed, did not lodge any complaint before the police. On this score alone, the Writ Petition is to be dismissed. However, the learned Government Pleader, upon instructions, brought to the notice of this Court that upon a letter dated 21.02.2005 addressed by the first petitioner, no further proceedings are being taken up and the further action is dropped. Having regard to the facts and circumstances, the Writ Petition is devoid of merits and is dismissed. ______________ (D.S.R.VARMA, J) 3rd March 2005 RRB ASSISTANT REGISTRAR //True Copy// SECTION OFFICER Copy To: 1.
