Meena Kumari) This writ petition is filed seeking a direction to the respondent- police to produce Sri Kochiri Ashok, S/o Premaiah, aged 22 years, resident of Lingapuram Village, Amaravathi Mandal, Guntur District, before the Court and set him at liberty. It is the main grievance of the writ petitioner that her son was taken to the police station and was detained therein and on 25.4.2009, she went to the police station and noticed that her son is suffering from the effects of the third degree torture and she requested the 3rd respondent not to beat her son, but they paid a deaf ear and on 26.4.2009, she was informed that the police shifted her son to some other police station and they did not reveal the place where he was kept. The learned Advocate-General has taken notice of the writ petition and filed a counter-affidavit of the 3rd respondent to the effect that on the statement given by one Sathuluri Yesaiah, S/o Sundarshana Rao during the course of his treatment in the Government Hospital alleging that the alleged detenu and three others beat him and damaged the ice cream boxes due to previous enemity, the 3rd respondent-police filed an application under Section 155(2) C.P.C. before the II Additional Junior Civil Judge, Sattenapalli, on 20.4.2009 with a request to accord permission to register and investigate the case and the case has been adjourned to 4.5.2009 and except making GD entry and the application to the Court, the 3rd respondent-police never in any manner illegally detained the alleged detenu either on 24.4.2009 or on any other subsequent date. In view of the above statement made by the injured in question as well as the submission made by the learned Advocate General and in view of the application pending before the Court below, We feel that no further orders are required in this writ petition. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed. _________________________ Justice T. Meena Kumari __________________________ Justice B.
