4. Now, considering the rival submissions made by either side, it is not in dispute that once the regular FIR is registered against the petitioner, the question of not to harass will not arise. Any direction issued by this Court, at this juncture, will amount to interfere with the investigation conducted by the respondent. Hence, this Criminal Original Petition stands dismissed.
