O R D E R

This Criminal Original Petition has been filed to direct the first respondent police not to harass the petitioner at the instigation of the second respondent.

2. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned Government Advocate (crl.side) appearing for the respondents.

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.
