Lakshmi v. the Inspector of Police
Case brief
What is this about?
The Criminal Original Petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking a non-harassment order was dismissed. The Court held that a blanket ban on harassment is impermissible when an enquiry is pending, noting that such an order is not a shield against arrest if a cognizable offence is made out.
What did the court decide?
No blanket order for non-harassment; petitioner to cooperate with pending enquiry.
