The petitioners have filed this writ petition alleging police harassment. Admittedly, petitioners had approached this Court earlier by filing Writ Petition, W.P.(C) No.34241 of 2007, which culminated in Ext.P4 judgment, directing the police that in case petitioners' presence is required for any investigation or for questioning them, notice under Section 160 Cr.P.C. may be issued to them. According to the petitioners, despite such judgment, they are being called to the police station without any written notice. If that be so, the remedy open to the petitioners is to move for contempt and not to file separate writ petition for the same relief. Leaving open the right of the petitioners to do so, the writ petition is closed. P.R.RAMAN, JUDGE P.BHAVADASAN , JUDGE. nj.
