JUDGMENT
Kurian Joseph,J.
Petitioner approached this court complaining of
Police harassment. According to the petitioner the second
respondent has demanded certain amounts from him, in the
process of investigation. Apart from his official capacity, the
second respondent is not impleaded on the party array as
eo-nominee and therefore, this court would not be justified in
conducting any enquiry on such an allegation. Be that as it
may, learned Government Pleader, on instruction, submits
that the petitioner is an accused in various crimes involving
money transactions within the jurisdiction of various Police
Stations and apparently this writ petition is filed only with
oblique motives. According to the learned counsel for the
petitioner, the petitioner has been enlarged on bail in all other
crimes and yet the Police is harassing him and members of
his family. Though the petitioner is a person enlarged on bail,

it cannot be said that there cannot be any further investigation in
respect of the crimes or other crimes. Learned Government
Pleader submits that apart from the lawful discharge of the
duties the Police will not cause any harassment in the process of
investigation.
Therefore, this writ petition is dismissed, in view of the
submission made above by the learned Government Pleader. It
is made clear that the Police shall be at liberty to conduct any
investigation in respect of any complaint or crime, in accordance
with law.
