According to the first petitioner, he is the defacto complainant in Crime No.226/2007 of Peramangalam Police Station alleging assault by two persons. Petitioners 2 and 3 are stated to be the witness to the commission of offence. It is alleged that the first respondent asked the petitioners to come to his office twice in the first week of June without stating any reason and on each occasions the petitioners were made to wait in his office till evening and let off later. The petitioners seek for a direction to the first respondent not to harass them in any manner. 2. The learned Government Pleader on instruction submits that there is no complaint as against the petitioners and as such their presence is not required in any crime as of now. It is only to investigate the first petitioner's own complaint, crime No.226 of 2007 that the petitioners were asked to come to the police station. In view of the fact that the petitioners themselves say that they are WPC.18513/07 2 being harassed by the police and at the same time since the petitioners submit that they are not satisfied with the investigation, the petitioners are relegated to approach the criminal court, if so advised. There will be a direction to the respondents not to harass the petitioners. The Writ Petition is disposed as above. P.R.RAMAN, JUDGE K.HEMA, JUDGE vgs.
