In this writ petition seeking protection against what is alleged to be harassment by the police we directed the learned Government Pleader to seek instructions from the officers of the police regarding the correctness of the accusations. Learned Government Pleader on the basis of the instructions submitted that the accusations are untrue. The father-in-law of the petitioner filed a petition and the petitioner's presence was requested to the police station in connection with the enquiry into that petition. This cannot be termed as harassment. Though we are in agreement with the learned Government Pleader, we are of the view that this writ petition can be disposed of issuing a direction that if the attendance of the petitioner is required by 2nd or 3rd respondent in connection with any enquiry or any investigation, those respondents will issue notice to the petitioner under section 160 of the Cr.P.C.
