JUDGMENT Balakrishnan Nair, J. The petitioner has approached this Court alleging that respondents 2 and 3 are harassing him at the instance of the 4th respondent. Civil suits are pending between the petitioner and the 4th respondent, concerning the right to inherit the properties of the petitioner's father. 2. The learned Government Pleader, upon instructions, submitted that on the basis of the information lodged by the 4th respondent a crime has been registered against the petitioner under Section 420 of the I.P.C. The police are only investigating that crime. The learned Government Pleader denies the allegation of the petitioner that the police officers are harassing him at the instance of the 4th respondent. 3. The 4th respondent also denies the allegations against him. He submits that he is also entitled to get a share in a property. Recently, the petitioner has cut and removed certain trees from that property. Therefore, WPC 203/2008 2 he was constrained to file a complaint before the police, which led to the registration of the crime. We record the submission of the learned Government Pleader that the police have no intention to harass the petitioner. They are only investigating the crime. This the police may do in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE. P.N.RAVINDRAN, JUDGE. Nm/
