COMMON ORDER The petitioners have come forward with these petitions seeking for a direction, directing the respondent police not to harass the petitioners under the guise of enquiry.
2. The main grievance of petitioners is that without any valid reason, the respondent police is harassing the petitioners, under the guise of enquiry. The said submission of the petitioners is gainsaid by the Government Advocate (crl.side).
3. The Government Advocate (Crl.side), on instruction, would submit that petition enquiry was conducted and there is no such harassment against the petitioners and if any interrogation or any further investigation is needed by the respondent police against the petitioners, the norms which are mentioned in the Judgement of Hon'ble Apex Court in D.K.Basu Vs. State of West Bengal reported in AIR (1997) SC 610, would be followed. He would further submit that there will not be any harassment and the enquiry or interrogation would be done in accordance with law.
4. I have heard the counsel appearing for the petitioners and the Government Advocate (crl.side) appearing for the respondents. Inspite of several opportunities given to the contesting respondents, there is no representation on behalf of them.
5. It is represented that the parents and brothers have spoken to the daughter, who is residing in Singapore, through electronic media, during the Mediation time, as directed by this Court. The petitioner in Crl.O.P.(MD)No.23480 of 2015 has also filed a suit against the parents that they shall not interfere with the matrimonial dispute.
6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and recording the statement of the Government Advocate (Crl.side) that the respondent police would not harass the petitioners in future under the guise of any enquiry, the criminal original Petitions are closed. The petitioners are directed to co-operate with the enquiry.
