versus THE STATE (NCT OF DELHI) & ORS ..... Respondents Through Mr. R S Kundu, ASC & Mr. Hitesh Vali, Adv. for the State SI Rajnish, PS Sagarpur

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE BRIJESH SETHI

O R D E R

% 19.09.2019 The only relief sought by the petitioner by way of the instant petition is that the police officials should not visit his house without prior notice. Learned ASC for the State submits that such visits are required for the purpose of updating criminal dossier record, finger prints, photographs and other details of the petitioner.

Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, submits that the petitioner will go personally to the concerned police station within 10 days from today and shall complete all the necessary formalities. Heard. So far as prayer of the petitioner that police officials should not visit his home is concerned, it is the duty of the police officials to visit the house of the petitioner and to call him for completion of necessary formalities as detailed above with respect to criminal offences and no such directions, therefore, can be passed which result in refraining them from performing their duty. The Police Officials are also duty bound to visit every such place where

a cognizable offence is being committed or has been committed. However, they must keep in mind the fact that their visits should not amount to harassment to the petitioner.

Ordered accordingly.

The petition stands disposed of in above terms. BRIJESH SETHI, J SEPTEMBER 19, 2019 sm
