During enquiry, the petitioner was asked about sale deeds and other documents. It is also denied that the Sub-Inspector of Police forced the petitioner to settle the issue and also made him to wait in the police station from 9.00 am to 9.00 pm. It is also stated that except on 29-06-2019, the petitioner was never called to the police station again.

In view of the same, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents not to interfere with the life and liberty of the petitioner and not to pressurize him to settle the civil disputes. However, this order will not preclude the respondent-police from investigating into crime and to take action in accordance with law. As a sequel to the disposal of this petition, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending shall stand closed.
