4.

The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent police submits that the police called the petitioners for an enquiry in the pending FIR in Crime No.4 of 2019. 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.
