The police have no statutory power to adjudicate the civil disputes. Even if any civil dispute is raised against the petitioner, he cannot be called in to the police station for pressurizing to settle the matter. The recent decision in Shivaprasad Shenoy V. State of Kerala (2010 (2) KHC 24) by the Division Bench of this Honourable Court also interdicted the Police authorities from interfering in matters of civil disputes.
Remedy-
File petition before the Police Complaint Authority
File Writ Petition alleging police harassment
