The petitioner has come to this Court with this petition complaining about harassment by the police. The third respondent is the daughter-in-law of the petitioner. The son of the petitioner, i.e. the husband of the third respondent, is employed abroad. The son of the petitioner has filed a petition for divorce against the third respondent. According to the petitioner, succumbing to the influence of the third respondent and relatives, police are compelling the petitioner to ensure that his son withdraws the application for divorce. This in short is the grievance of the petitioner. 2. The third respondent has entered appearance. The third respondent has a long tale of woes to narrate. Be that as it may, the learned Government Pleader submits that the police have no intention in any manner to interfere with the prosecution of the petition for divorce filed by the son of WPC No.9015/2011 2 the petitioner. The petitioner will not be called to the Police Station. His presence is not required at the Police Station. No Police Officer shall ask him to ensure that the petition for divorce filed by the petitioner's son is withdrawn, undertakes the learned Government Pleader. In the light of that undertaking, no further directions are necessary under Article 226 of the Constitution, submits the learned Government Pleader. 3. Having considered all the relevant inputs, we are satisfied that the submission/undertaking of the learned Government Pleader can be accepted and this proceedings can be closed. 4. In the result, this petition is dismissed accepting the submissions of the learned Government Pleader.
