2. The petitioner has now approached this Court, with the complaint that the respondent Nos.4 and 5 are summoning the petitioner to the Police Station and are harassing and coercing the petitioner to settle the disputes with the respondent Nos.6 and 7.

3. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home, has produced written instructions, given by the 5[th] respondent. In these written instructions, it is stated that the 6[th] respondent had given a complaint on 15.12.2022 stating that his wife had illegally married the petitioner herein even while the marriage between the 6[th] respondent and his wife is subsisting. A general diary entry was made in this regard and the petitioner was called for enquiry. However, since the said complaint would only relate to non-cognizable offence, no further action has been taken and no further action is proposed to be taken in this regard.

4. Recording the above submissions, this Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the respondent Nos.4 and 5 not to summon the petitioner to the Police Station, unless it is in pursuance of an investigation being taken up in relation to a crime which is registered. There shall be no order as to costs.
