Dated this the 15th day of May, 2009.
JUDGMENT
The petitioner, a widow aged 70 years, claims that she is earing her
livelihood by conducting a small bunk near Puthuvype Fish Market. She is
aggrieved what she calls “unnecessary interference by the 2nd respondent at
the instance of the 3rd respondent”. There is a civil dispute between the
petitioner and the 3rd respondent.
2. There is nothing on record to show that any crime has been
registered against the petitioner. Police shall not do anything so as to
characterize their actions as harassment, unless those actions are intended for
some legitimate purpose for which power is legitimately conferred on them.
The 2nd respondent should not do anything which is likely to be characterized
as harassment meted out to the petitioner.
Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is closed.
