PIUS C.KURIAKOSE & K.HARILAL, JJ. ------------------------ W.P.(C) NO. 33059 OF 2011 ------------------------ Dated this the 19th day of December, 2011 JUDGMENT Pius C.Kuriakose, J. On considering this writ petition seeking directions against police harassment for admission, we directed the learned senior Government Pleader Sri.M.K.Aboobacker, who took notice on behalf of respondents 1 and 2 police officers, to seek instructions. 2. Today, Mr.Aboobacker learned senior Government Pleader submitted that accusation of police harassment levelled against the respondents 1 and 2 are untrue. The 3rd respondent Smt.Safitha filed a complaint against the petitioner, his wife and one of his sons. The complaint was to the effect that Smt.Safitha's child was kidnapped by the petitioner and his wife. The 2nd respondent only contacted the petitioner over telephone as part of enquiring into the above complaint. The enquiry revealed that the allegation of kidnapping was without substance. It was revealed that the 3rd respondent was the daughter-in-law of the petitioner being former wife of another son of the W.P.(C) No. 33059 /2011 2 petitioner, who is presently working in a Gulf country. The marriage of the 3rd respondent and the above son of the petitioner has ended in divorce. The police no longer requires the attendance of the petitioner. We record all the submissions of the learned senior Government pleader. We decline the reliefs sought for. However, we dispose of this writ petition directing the first respondent and all the police officers under him to issue notice under Section 160 Cr.P.C. if the attendance of the petitioner is required in future in connection with any enquriy or investigation.
