Raman, J.

This writ petition is filed alleging police harassment.

We have granted an interim direction not to evict the petitioner

forcibly, for a period of two weeks.

2. It is submitted by the learned Government

Pleader that the police is now acting on the basis of an order

passed by the District Collector. If so, unless that order is

challenged in accordance with law, and so long as the same is in

force, it cannot be said that there is any harassment as such.

However, the learned counsel appearing for the

petitioner seeks permission to challenge the order passed by the

District Collector. No such permission is required, if he is

otherwise entitled to. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed

without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to take appropriate

remedies as are available under law.
