The relief prayed for in the writ petition is to direct the fourth respondent to return the vehicle to the petitioner in her office, on the allegation that petitioner's vehicle was taken without any lawful excuse and hence amounts to harassment. In the light of the interim direction issued by this Court on 24.11.2009, the vehicle has already been released. 2. In the above circumstances, no further directions are called for. The allegation of harassment is denied in the counter affidavit filed by the third respondent. In the wake of the disputed facts, it is not possible for this Court to enquire further, after taking evidence. If the grievance of the petitioner still survives, it is open to her to approach the Police Complaints Authority. The writ petition is accordingly closed. P.R.RAMAN, JUDGE P.S.GOPINATHAN, JUDGE nj.
