4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side), on instructions, would submit that based on the complaint given by

the second respondent against her husband Thangaraj, the petitioner was only called for enquiry to know about the whereabouts of his son, Thangaraj and the respondent police did not cause any harassment to the petitioner and his family members. Since, the defacto complainant has withdrawn the complaint, the petition enquiry was closed. He further submitted that since the enquiry was closed, the presence of the petitioner is not at all required by the respondent police. Hence, there is no scope for harassment.

5. Recording the above submission made by the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side), this Criminal Original Petition is disposed of.
