THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.15381 of 2011 ORDER: The present writ petition is filed seeking a Writ of Mandamus to declare the action of respondents 2 to 4 in calling the petitioners to the police station for enquiry without registering the complaint as illegal and arbitrary and consequently to direct respondents 2 to 4 not to harass the petitioners by calling them to the police station every day. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that although a complaint has been filed by respondents 5 and 6 against the petitioners before the 4th respondent, the dispute between the petitioners and respondents 5 and 6 is purely civil in nature and, therefore, the police have no right to investigate the matter. Learned counsel for the State, however, submits that a complaint was received against the petitioners from respondents 5 and 6 and, therefore, the matter is being investigated. The learned counsel further submits that both the petitioners have obtained anticipatory bail from this Court, wherein a direction has been issued to the petitioners that they shall co-operate with the investigation as and when called for. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, it is clear that even in the order passed by this court while granting anticipatory bail, the petitioners were directed to present themselves for investigation as and when called for. Apart from the above, as the complaint has been filed against the petitioners, the official respondents have to investigate the matter. However, under the guise of investigation, the official respondents cannot call the petitioners to the police station and make them to sit for hours together. In view of the foregoing facts, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction that the official respondents can investigate into the complaint filed against the petitioners by respondents 5 and 6, however, they shall not make the petitioners to sit in the police station for hours together. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J Date:21-06-2011 Prv
