JUDGMENT
A.M.Shaffique, J.
Petitioner has approached this Court complaining of harassment by the respondents. According to him, he was one of the Directors of a Company which was conducting Kuri, whereas he is now called upon by the police at the instance of respondents 3 and 4 and is forced to part with money.
2.
Learned Government Pleader on instructions, would submit that the petitioner was the Managing Director of the 3rd respondent Company and a complaint has been received from the Chairman of the 3rd respondent Company stating that the petitioner has misappropriated large amount from the Company, as a result of which, they are unable to pay the subscribers of
-2W.P.(C). No. 2916 of 2015 Kuri. When the complaint was received the matter was enquired into by the police and the parties were summoned and the petitioner was asked to settle the matter as early as possible to avoid further complaints from various persons who have joined Kuries and who are remaining unpaid.
3.
Having regard to the aforesaid submission, we do not think that this is a case of police harassment. Police had only called upon the petitioner to settle the matter as early as possible, it being a financial matter. The learned Government Pleader submits that thereafter, no further action has been taken in the matter. The facts as stated above do not disclose any harassment by the police. We do not think it necessary to issue any order as prayed for. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed.
