JUDGMENT

Ashok Bhushan, Ag, CJ.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader. No notice is being issued to respondents 3 to 7, in view of the order, which is being passed.

2. This Writ Petition has been filed by the petitioner alleging police harassment. The petitioner's case is that petitioner's husband introduced the private respondents to an Engineering College, in which admission was granted. Subsequently, the fee was demanded back, which was not granted by the management, hence dispute arose. It is submitted that at the Police Station a cheque was obtained by the private respondents from the petitioner and now the Police is putting pressure to pay the money.

WP(C).6602/15

3. The learned Government Pleader on instruction submitted that a complaint was submitted by the fifth respondent against the petitioner, with regard to which the parties were called. The petitioner appeared and made a statement that the matter has been settled, hence the Police closed the complaint. It is submitted that no further action is being taken by the Police on the complaint.

4. In the above view of the matter, we do not find that there is any police harassment as alleged by the petitioner.

Recording the submission of the learned Government Pleader, the Writ Petition is closed.
