JUDGMENT Bhavadasan, J, Petitioner challenges the conduct of the first respondent in continuously harassing him on unreasonable and untenable grounds. According to learned counsel for the petitioner, it is true that the petitioner is involved in several crimes, but that is not a ground for the first respondent to go on threatening him and the members of his family making his life miserable. 2. In the statement filed by the learned Public Prosecutor, it is seen that the petitioner is involved in several crimes and he is a habitual offender. He is arrayed as an accused in one of the cases in which the offence involved is under Section 302 Indian Penal Code. 3. It is very evident that the claim of the petitioner that he is being unnecessarily harassed by the police is untenable in view of his involvement in several crimes. It is not proper for this court in these circumstances to order police protection or to direct the police to refrain WPC.13400/2009. 2 from questioning him in accordance with law while investigating the cases against him. The writ petition is dismissed. P.R. Raman, Judge P. Bhavadasan, Judge sb.
