THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No.26013 of 2009 ORDER: (per the Hon’ble Sri Justice Nooty Ramamohana Rao) This writ petition has been instituted seeking a writ of Habeas Corpus for causing production of 39 year-old mentally deranged son of the writ petitioner, who is a resident of Malaiyadipudur, Nanguneri Taluk, Tirunelveli District, Tamilnadu. The hapless mother with her deranged son visited Tirumala on 4th July 2009 and after having the darshan of the Presiding deity at Tirumala, when they reached to Alipiri bus-station for boarding a bus to Chennai, her son has disappeared. Her efforts to trace him could not succeed. Her son was said to be a mentally unstable individual. Since she could not speak any other language than Tamil, she had difficulty to communicate with the local persons and solicit their help for tracing out her missing son. Therefore, she went away to Chennai and lodged a complaint with the Police at Chennai. The Deputy Superintendent of Police and Public Relations Officer, Chennai Police, has addressed a D.O. letter to the Deputy Superintendent of Police, Tirupati, requesting the latter to investigate into the complaint of the writ petitioner herein for tracing out her missing son. The Police at Alipiri, Tirupati Town, have registered a case under “man missing”, but, however, complaining that no headway is achieved in the process, this writ petition has been instituted. Today, the learned Assistant Government Pleader, representing learned Advocate General appearing for respondents 1 to 3, brought to our notice that the writ petitioner and her deranged son, who has since been traced, have been brought to the Court by the Police at Alipiri. Since we are not able to communicate with the writ petitioner in Tamil, we solicited Sri L.Ravi Chandra, a learned advocate of this Court, to assist us in communicating with the writ petitioner, who is the mother of the missing man. Sri L.Ravi Chandra was considerate enough to spare some time firstly, in conversing and communicating with the writ petitioner and secondly, helping us to understand what the writ petitioner i.e., the mother of the missing man, wanted to convey to us. Thankfully, the missing son of the writ petitioner has been traced by the Sub-Inspector of Police, Alipiri Police Station, Tirupati, when he got a message that a person resembling the description of the missing man in the newspaper advertisement was found loitering near the bus-stand at Pakala town in Chittoor District. Happily, the missing person, who is the son of the writ petitioner, has since been restored to the writ petitioner. The writ petitioner has also thanked the Sub-Inspector of Police, Alipiri Police Station, who, in fact, strained every nerve for not only tracing the missing man but also taking care of him in the interregnum. In view of the restoration of the missing man to the writ petitioner-mother, we do not consider it necessary to pass any further orders in this regard. Recording the valuable assistance rendered by Sri L.Ravi Chandra, we dispose of this writ petition as no further orders are needed. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. However, without costs. _____________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA ___________________________________ JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO 3rd February, 2010 DR
