Counsel for the Petitioner: LETTER Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR HOME The Court made the following : THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA AND THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU TAKEN UP WRIT PETITION No.16332 of 2008 ORAL ORDER: (per the HON’BLE SRI JUST ICE D.S.R.VARMA) Heard the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for the respondents. 2. This writ petition is taken up basing on a letter, dated 15.07.2008, addressed to the Hon’ble the Chief Justice, High Court of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad, by one B.Mukhtaiah, resident of Hyderabad, stating that his daughter by name Jyothi was taken away by the traﬃckers namely Kanaka Durga and Chakali Venkati and that the respondents are not taking proper action in this regard. 3. In response to the notice, issued by this Court, respondent No.1-Inspector of Police, Nacharam Police Station, Cyberabad Commissionerate, ﬁled a detailed counter-aﬃdavit stating, inter alia, that the address of the petitioner is given as Plot No.3, II Floor, Santhi Surabhi Complex, A.S.Rao Nagar Cross Roads, Hyderabad, but, on veriﬁcation, it was found that in the said apartment several oﬃces are located and no person by name Mukhtaiah is residing at that address. During the course of investigation, the said traﬃckers, namely Kanaka Durga, Chakali Venkati and Jalaja, were examined by the Police. They stated that there were some family disputes between the said Jalaja and her husband, and as such, he might have addressed the said letter, dated 15.07.2008, to this Court. The said Jalaja further stated that a case in Crime No.222 of 2008 was registered on the ﬁle of Central Crime Station, Hyderabad, under Section 498-A I.P.C., against her husband on 11.08.2008. 4. It is further stated in the counter-aﬃdavit that the letter addressed by the petitioner to this Court is totally a concocted one and all the allegations levelled in the said letter are totally denied, and that, in spite of taking all the pains by the Police in tracing out the address of the petitioner, as there is no person by name Mukhtaiah, residing in Plot No.3, II Floor, Santhi Surabhi Complex, A.S.Rao Nagar Cross Roads, Hyderabad, no further action could be taken in that regard. 5. In such circumstances, we are of the view that the said letter had been addressed by the petitioner with no sense of responsibility, in which event, this Court cannot exercise its extraordinary jurisdiction to issue a writ of Habeas Corpus. 6. For the foregoing, the writ petition is devoid of any merits and the same is liable to be dismissed. 7. In the result, the writ petition is dismissed, at the stage of admission. However, there shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA _______________________ JUSTICE K.C.BHANU 25.08.2008 dr .....
