Heard both sides and at their request this case is taken up for disposal at the stage of admission. This Writ Petition is filed seeking to declare the action of the first respondent in frequently summoning the petitioners to the police station, without registering any crime, as arbitrary and illegal. The grievance of the petitioners is that the respondents are calling the petitioners to the police station without registering any crime against the petitioners. It is needless to say that if there is any complaint against the petitioners, a crime can be registered and the matter can be investigated further. Till such time, no coercive steps are permissible under law. With the above observation, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. _________________ D.S.R.
