ORDER

The petitioner has come up with this petition, seeking a direction to the respondents police not to harass the petitioner under the guise of an enquiry except in a manner known to law.

2. I have 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 either for enquiry or for interrogation, he can very well be summoned by the respondents 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 any cognizable offence. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
