It is also his case that on 06.02.2011, he lodged a complaint before the police stating that respondents 4 to 6 supported by some other persons, removed the locks of his shops and taken away valuable stock, furniture etc., in contravention of the orders of status quo passed by the learned Principal Junior Civil Judge, Amalapuram, in I.A.No.105 of 2011 in O.S.No.21 of 2011, and thereby, requested to take action. It is the grievance of the petitioner that in spite of such a complaint before the police, no action has been taken. Today, when the matter is taken up, based on written instructions, dated 19.02.2011, signed by the Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police, Amalapuram Town Police Station, East Godavari District, it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for respondents 1 to 3 that based on the complaint of the petitioner, a case in Crime No.33 of 2011 was registered, under Sections 448, 379, 506 IPC read with 34 IPC on the file of Amalapuram Police Station on 17.02.2011 and the investigation was taken up. It is also submitted that investigation is at the initial stage and necessary steps would be taken against the accused in the FIR depending on the evidence adduced during the course of investigation. In view of registration of Crime No.33 of 2011 based on the complaint lodged by the petitioner and as the investigation is taken up, it cannot be said that no action has been taken by respondents 1 to 3 on the complaint of the petitioner. In view of the same, I deem it appropriate to direct respondents 1 to 3 to complete the investigation in the aforesaid crime and file appropriate final report, within a period of two (2) months from today. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 21st FEBRUARY, 2011. kvni
