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

2.According to the petitioner, the respondent police is harassing the petitioner based on the complaint lodged by the third respondent. Therefore, he sent the representation dated 23.04.2025 to the second respondent, but the same has not been considered. Hence this petition. 3.The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent police would submit that based on the complaint lodged by the third respondent, they called the petitioner for enquiry purpose and apart from that they have not harassed the petitioner. He would further submit that the petitioner's representation is under consideration with the second respondent and they will conduct enquiry and take appropriate action, in accordance with law.
