JUDGMENT Although this petition was listed for hearing on admission, but it is heard finally on the request of the parties. This is a petition presented under Art. 226/227 of the Constitution of India. Learned counsel for the petitioner has prayed for grant of undernoted reliefs:- (i) That Superintendent of Police Ujjain and Town Inspector Kharakus Ujjain be asked to remove policemen and illegal obstruction from petitioner's Dhaba and hotel, situated at Debaree Peetha Ujjain and that the customers visiting this place be left fetterfree. (ii) The Police Ujjain should stop all types of surveillance through domiciliary visits at odd hours and allow the petitioner to lead life of reasonable comforts. In return, the respondents have pleaded that watch is being kept on the petitioner in terms of M.P. Police Regulations 855 and 858. They have dubbed the petitioner as a character of criminal propensity and labelled him as habitual offender. In our view, the police, in such matters if found true, can have recourse to usual proceedings under S. 107 and 110 Cr.P.C. The Apex Court has thrown enough light on the subject in AIR 1975 SC 1378 (Govind v. State). The preamble to the Constitution of India promises to a citizen to secure 'dignity'. Things do not seem to improve at police hands even after the observations of the Apex Court in Govind's case (supra) in classic terms as under :- "In truth, legality apart, these regulations ill-accord with the essence of personal freedom and the State will do well to revise these old police regulations verging perilously near unconstitutionality. We are satisfied that the petitioner is not liable to be subjected to surveillance, as claimed by the respondents. In the result, this petition is allowed. The acts of the respondents, making drastic inroads into the privacy and right of the petitioner, are held to be subvertible. They are thus directed to withdraw all acts and to refrain from imposing undue restrictions in the nature of surveillance as stated in para 4 (a) & (b) above. They are, however, left free to initiate any action as may be permitted under the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure or any other law. There shall be no order as to costs.
