3. The term harassment is so subjective which cannot be encapsulated in objective criterion. The petitioner having given a complaint is bound to cooperate with the Police for enquiry.

Admittedly, the enquiry is pending. Without cooperating with the Police, they cannot seek such a blanket direction.

4. In such a view of the matter, the prayer sought for by the petitioner is rejected. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is closed. The Police shall issue notice, within two weeks, from today, for causing the appearance of the petitioner, for enquiry and after enquiring the petitioner, the Police may either register a complaint, if any cognizable offence is made out or close the complaint.
