Petitioner has approached this Court complaining
harassment by police. Briefly put, the case of the petitioner is
as follows:- Petitioner’s friend is employed in the Middle East.
The 3rd respondent through his brother-in-law who happened
to be a neighbour of the petitioner approached the friend of
the petitioner employed in the Middle East for visa. The 3rd
respondent alleges that he has paid Rs.80,000/- to the friend
in the Middle East through his brother-in-law. It is further
alleged by the 3rd respondent that the petitioner was also
present at the time of the aforesaid monetary transaction.
Thus, there is a monetary transaction. It is the case of the
petitioner that he was summoned to the police station on four
occasions for settling the false monetary claims. Petitioner
submitted Ext.P1 complaint.
2. We heard the learned counsel for the petitioner
WPC No.6341/2010 -2-
and also the learned Government Pleader.
3. While the petitioner cannot be harassed
without there being any crime registered against him, we
make it clear that, if any crime is registered against the
petitioner, respondents 1 and 2 will be free to investigate the
same, in accordance with law.
The writ petition is disposed of as above.
