JOSEPH FRANCIS, JJ. -------------------------------------------------- W.P(C). NO. 4510 OF 2010 K --------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd February, 2010 JUDGMENT K.M. Joseph, J. Petitioner alleges harassment by respondents 2 to 4. Briefly put, the case of the petitioner is as follows: The only public way having a width of four metres towards her property was obstructed by the fifth respondent and her husband. Petitioner's husband is totally bed ridden. Petitioner went to the RDO who called for a Report. By Ext.P1, the Village Officer reported obstruction. But, now the matter is pending in Appeal under the Land Conservancy Act filed by the fifth respondent. On a false complaint of the fifth respondent, petitioner was summoned by the third respondent illegally and unnecessarily. Under Section 160 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, there is embargo against summoning woman to the police station. It is stated that the fourth respondent who is a woman police constable even manhandled the petitioner. WPC.NO.4510 OF 2010 K 2 Petitioner filed Ext.P7 complaint. 2. Learned Government Pleader got instructions. We heard the learned counsel for the petitioner also. Learned Government Pleader would submit that both the petitioner and the fourth respondent filed complaints and it was to have a settlement of the issues that the petitioner was called to the police station. Learned Government Pleader does not dispute that the petitioner was called to the police station. Anyway, the learned Government Pleader would submit that the petitioner will not be called to the police station. We record the submission and close the Writ Petition. Sd/= K.M.
