Ashok Bhushan, CJ Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.

2.

This writ petition is filed alleging police harassment. Petitioner's case is that he has been called at the instance of respondents 1 and 2 without having committed any offence by him.

3.

The learned State Attorney, on instructions, would submit that the petitioner was called in connection with an investigation in which crime has already been registered. 4.

In view of the above submission, we do think that there is any case of police harassment. The petitioner shall co-operate with the investigation.

With the above observation, this writ petition is closed. (sd/-) (ASHOK BHUSHAN, CHIEF JUSTICE) (sd/-) (A.M.SHAFFIQUE, JUDGE) jsr
