Petitioner has approached this Court against harassment by second and third respondent police officials at the instance of the creditors of the petitioner. 2. Briefly put the case of the petitioner is as follows: Petitioner was working in Saudi Arabia for about 20 years. He started a money lending business. He purchased six tourist buses, six autorickshaws and three taxi cars. Several persons who availed loan from the petitioner's institution defaulted payment, which resulted in break down of his business. On 14.2.2010 when the petitioner was about to go out of his house, respondents 2 and 3 came in front of the gate and got into the compound. Smelling that the police had come to apprehend the petitioner, he took to his heels and escaped from there.

Efforts are being taken by respondents 2 and 3 in accordance with law to secure the presence of the petitioner. We do not find any scope for alleging harassment by the police.
