Mr. Dhivya Jerath, Advocate for the petitioner. (Through video conferencing) **** H.S. GREWAL, J. (ORAL) 1.

This petition has been filed under Section 528 of the BNSS, 2023 for issuance of directions to respondent No. 1 as well as respondent Nos. 2 and 3 to take appropriate legal and departmental action against the police officials for violating the fundamental rights of the petitioner as envisaged under Article 21 of the Constitution of India and to protect the life and liberty of the petitioner and prevent unnecessary harassment of the petitioner from the hands of the respondents. 2.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the police interference arises solely on account of criminal allegations against the petitioner's son. She further submits that the petitioner has lawfully disowned and dispossessed his son from all his movable and immovable properties, and a public notice to this effect was duly published in a widely circulated newspaper.
