The petitioner has approached this Court seeking the following relief: “direct respondents 2 to 4 not to harass the petitioner and to direct the first respondent to take action on Ext.P1 at the earliest and to see that the petitioner shall not be harassed any more by respondents 2 to 4”. 2. Briefly the case of the petitioner is as follows. Petitioner and the 5th respondent were living together and two children were born. The 5th respondent developed illicit relationship with another. The petitioner questioned the same. Infuriated by the same, the 5th respondent and her brothers ill-treated the petitioner and he was constrained to W.P.(C).No. 22928 of 2010 2 leave the house. Later the petitioner filed a complaint before the police for the custody of the children. She refused to give custody of the children and gave a statement that she had married another person. Now she is demanding money from the petitioner. 3. The learned Government Pleader would submit that a complaint was received from the 5th respondent and the police are investigating the same. 4. We dispose of the Writ Petition as follows. On the basis of the complaint of the 5th respondent, it will be open to the official respondents concerned to investigate the matter in accordance with law. If the petitioner's presence is required, it will be preceded by notice under Section 160 Cr.P.C. \ (K. M. JOSEPH) Judge (M.L. JOSEPH FRANCIS) Judge tm
