2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondents.

3. In my considered opinion, no blanket direction as prayed for by the petitioner could be given. If the petitioner is wanted https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

either for enquiry or for interrogation, he can very well be summoned by the respondent police and while doing so, the petitioner shall not be harassed. At the same time, the petitioner should submit himself to the respondent for interrogation and enquiry. It is made clear that this order will not shield if the petitioner is involved in cognizable offence.

4. With the above observation, the Criminal Original Petition is closed.
