THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.31570 of 2010 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a mandamus declaring the action of the first respondent – Station House Officer, Jammikunta Police Station, Jammikunta, Karimnagar District, in forcing the petitioner to deliver possession of house plot admeasuring 242 sq.yards covered by Survey No.748/B/2 situated at Jammikunta Village and Mandal, Karimnagar District, to respondents 2 and 3, as illegal and arbitrary and for a consequential direction to the first respondent not to dispossess the petitioner from the aforesaid plot. It is the case of the petitioner that he has purchased the aforesaid plot from the second respondent – Dugyala Sammaiah, and paid total sale consideration amount. It is stated that the said document was not registered and taking advantage of the same, respondents 2 and 3 approached the first respondent. Basing on the same, the first respondent is insisting the petitioner to deliver possession of such plot to respondents 2 and 3. It is the grievance of the petitioner that dispute between the petitioner and respondents 2 and 3 is of civil nature, as such, the first respondent has no jurisdiction to interfere with the same. Based on written instructions, dated 20.12.2010, sent by the Inspector of Police, Jammikunta Police Station, Karimnagar District, it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for the first respondent that there was a complaint lodged by one Dugyala Tirupathi, who is the third respondent in the writ petition, on 04.12.2010 and basing on the same, a case in Crime No.326 of 2010 was registered against the petitioner for the offences punishable under Sections 447, 427, 506-II IPC read with Section 34 IPC. It is further submitted that based on the complaint of the petitioner also, a case in Crime No.335 of 2010 was registered for the offence under Section 420 IPC against the second respondent herein and others. It is further submitted that in both the crimes, investigation is pending and except investigating into the said crimes, there is no interference by the first respondent with regard to civil disputes as alleged by the petitioner. It is also submitted that there is no warning by the first respondent to remove the hut from the house plot as alleged by the petitioner. When the complaints are lodged before the police, it is obligatory on their part to investigate into the same. Mere investigation made by the police into Crime Nos.326 and 335 of 2010, which were registered based on the complaints of the third respondent and the petitioner respectively, cannot be said that there is illegal interference by them. In view of the statement made by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for the first respondent that the investigation into the aforesaid crimes is pending and the first respondent is not interfering with the civil disputes between the petitioner and the third respondent, I deem it appropriate to direct the police to complete the investigation in the aforesaid crimes as expeditiously as possible and file final reports. It is further directed that there should not be any interference in civil disputes, by the first respondent. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 18th JANUARY, 2011. kvni
