JUDGMENT
Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J.:
The petitioner seeks an order against police
harassment. He states that he was an employee of
Kerala State Audio Visual Reprographic Centre,
which is not a party to this writ petition. We
had the privilege of perusing the order keeping
the petitioner under suspension. It shows that
the petitioner and others are alleged to have
obstructed the discharge of duties and
responsibilities of a person who was transferred
into the office where the petitioner and others
were working. Going by the statements in that
order of suspension, we find possibility of the
employer having instituted a criminal complaint,
WP(C)38287/08 -: 2 :-
at least, before the police officer having
jurisdiction. In such event, there would be an
enquiry followed by investigation, if necessary.
Though the petitioner states that no crime has
been registered, we are not inclined to treat it
as a case where the police could be accused of
having been harassing the petitioner or his
family. We have also gone through the contents of
Ext.P1 representation. Barring the vague
statements of harassment, there is really no
harassment made out. We are satisfied that even
if the petitioner is summoned to the police
station, that would not be a harassment provided
such summoning is done in accordance with law.
We, therefore, do not find any ground to issue
any orders. The writ petition is closed without
prejudice.
