THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO WRIT PETITION No.17862 of 2011 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice A.Gopal Reddy) The father of Kumari Santoshi Bai, aged about 19 years, filed this writ petition for issuance of writ of Habeas Corpus stating that his daughter left the house on 21.06.2011 at 21-25 hours without intimating the family members and did not return home so far and that even though he gave a complaint to the third respondent-Station House Officer, Golconda Police Station to trace out his daughter, the third respondent has not taken any steps so far. In response to the notice, the third respondent filed a counter- affidavit stating that based on the compliant lodged by the petitioner on 22.06.2011, a case in Crime No.174 of 2011 was registered under the head “Girl Missing” and investigation is taken up; that during the course of investigation, it came into light that the alleged detenue was closely moving with one Ayub Khan, who is her neighbour; that the said Ayub Khan, who is an auto driver, is also missing since the said date and time; and a team consisting of Head Constable and constable was formed to trace out the alleged detenue and the suspect; that they visited various Railway Stations, Bus Stations and all probable places in twin cities, Vikarabad, Medchal, Tandur, Choutuppal and surrounding villages and caused enquiries by showing the photographs of the alleged detenue and the suspect, but in vain; and that since the date of registration of crime, sincere efforts are made to trace both the alleged detenue and the suspect and the efforts are still continuing. Since the grievance of the petitioner has already been complied with by registering the crime, nothing survives in this writ petition for further adjudication. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. However, the respondent police are directed to complete the investigation within a reasonable period and file a report before the Magistrate concerned, after giving due intimation to the petitioner. _____________________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J Date: 14.07.2011 _____________________ RAJA ELANGO, J va
