The present Criminal Original Petition has been filed seeking a direction to respondents 1 and 2 not to harass the petitioner under the guise of enquiry.

In such circumstances, it is for the Investigating Agency to issue appropriate notice to the petitioner under Section 35(3) of BNSS for enquiry and on receipt of such notice, the petitioner shall appear for enquiry 2/4

and co-operate in the investigation. It is made clear that the petitioner shall not be harassed during the course of enquiry. If any cognizable offence is made out, the respondent Police shall register a First Information Report and proceed in accordance with law.

Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition stands disposed of.
