JUDGMENT

Ashok Bhushan, Ag.C.J.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader. The Writ Petition was filed alleging police harassment and petitioner seeks a direction to respondent Nos.3 and 4 not to harass the petitioner. Petitioner's case is that on a complaint by 5th respondent, the petitioner was called upon to appear before 4th respondent on 07.01.2015. It is submitted that the petitioner could not appear since he has to attend a meeting. Learned Government Pleader after obtaining instructions would submit that on receiving the complaint filed by 5th respondent complaining that the petitioner has removed certain trees, he was called to appear. Government Pleader submits that petitioner did not appear but a crime has been registered. We do not find that present is a case where there is police harassment. Petitioner was called after receipt of a complaint. There is no merit in the writ petition and the Writ Petition is dismissed.

Ashok Bhushan, Acting Chief Justice.

A.M. Shaffique, Judge.
