Pursuant to an order passed by us on 23.9.2011 learned Government Pleader submitted that a petition was received from the 4th respondent against the petitioners and the attendance of the petitioners was required only in connection with an enquiry to that petition. Enquiry was conducted and it was revealed through the enquiry that the real dispute between the petitioners and the 4th respondent is civil in nature. On the basis of such revelation both sides were advised to settle their dispute and that further attendance was not required by the police. Submissions of the Government Pleader are recorded and we dispose of the writ petition directing the respondents 2 and 3 that if attendance of the petitioners is required in connection with any other matter, they shall issue notice to the petitioners under Section 160 of Cr.P.C.
