ORDER

This Criminal Original Petition has been filed seeking for a direction to the respondent police not to harass the petitioners under the guise of the complaint lodged by one Vasantha.

2.

Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioners and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondent police. 3.

The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the respondent police harassed the petitioners under the guise of enquiry.

4.

The learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent police submits that the police called the https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

petitioner for enquiry in the pending FIR in Crime No.361 of 2018. The case where the FIR is pending against the petitioners, there is no scope for this Court to entertain the petition under Section 482 of Cr.P.C., under the caption "Not to harass". 5.

Under such circumstances, once the regular FIR has been registered, the question of "Not to harass" will not arise. Any direction issued by this Court at this stage will amount to interfering with the investigation conducted by the respondent police. Hence, this Criminal Original petition is dismissed.
