As can be seen from the material on record, the petitioner lodged a complaint with the second respondent-Sub-Inspector of Police, Chanduru, Nalgonda District, on 14.09.2004 making certain allegations against the respondents 3 and 4. Since the second respondent failed to take any action, the petitioner lodged a further complaint with the first respondent- Superintendent of Police, Nalgonda District, Nalgonda, on 24.09.2004. A copy of the said complaint, placed before this Court, shows that the first respondent made an endorsement on the said complaint directing the second respondent to register a case and take further steps. However, the grievance of the petitioner is that, the second respondent failed to take any action and no further steps have been taken so far on the basis of his complaint. Hence this writ petition. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, and the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 and 2, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the second respondent to take appropriate action in terms of the directions of the first respondent dated 24.09.2004, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of one week from the date of receipt of this order.
