TO JUDGE tss R.BASANT & K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JJ. *********************** W.P(C) No.9521 of 2011-M ***************************** Dated this the 5th day of April, 2011 JUDGMENT BASANT, J. Petitioner complains of harassment. According to the petitioner, he has given no room for the police to take action against him. Police are unnecessarily vexing and harassing him. They want him to settle properties in favour of his wife. The petitioner is unwilling to do the same. The petitioner prays that he may be saved of unnecessary harassment and vexation at the hands of the police. 2. Notice was given to the learned Government Pleader. The learned Government Pleader after taking instructions from the concerned police officials submits that a complaint dated 18.01.2011 was received from the wife of the petitioner. She had raised allegations of cruelty against the petitioner. An attempt was made to settle the dispute. No crime was registered. In these circumstances, it is submitted that the police do not require the presence of the petitioner any longer at the police station. He shall not be called to the police station. No further action shall be taken against him, assures the learned W.P(C) No.9521 of 2011-M 2 Government Pleader on the basis of instructions received by him from the 4th respondent. 3. We are satisfied that the submissions of the learned Government Pleader on behalf of the 4th respondent can be accepted. Apprehension of action, if any, in future from the 4th respondent against the petitioner does not appear to be reasonable in the light of the submission of the learned Government Pleader. 4. This Writ Petition is, in these circumstances, dismissed, accepting the submissions of the learned Government Pleader. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) (K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE) rtr/
