Between: R.Mallikarjun and another Petitioners And State of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by it’s Secretary, Home Department, Secretariat Buildings, Hyderabad and others Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO W.P.No.18648 of 2007 ORDER: 1. This writ petition has been instituted seeking a declaration that the action of Respondent No.2, the Inspector of Police, Chilkalguda Police Station, Secunderabad in interfering with the civil disputes between the petitioners and the Respondent No.3 by confining the 1st floor portion under his lock and key as illegal. 2. The learned Government Pleader for Home had filed today an affidavit sworn to by Sri G.P. Vinod Kumar, Inspector of Police, Chilkalguda Police Station, Secunderabad. The Inspector has denied having put lock over the premises belonging to the petitioners. The Inspector has also further denied that he ever interfered in civil disputes between the parties. The Inspector of Police has also averred that when there is no crime registered against the petitioners, question of calling them to the Police Station does not arise and that only with a view to settle personal scores, the petitioners have levelled baseless allegations against the Police. 3. In this view of the matter, the apprehension entertained by the writ petitioners that it is the Police who have locked up the 1st floor premises of the writ petitioners, is denied and disputed. If there are any disputes persisting between the petitioners on the one hand and the unofficial respondent on the other, it is open to the petitioners to secure redresssal through the mechanism known to law and this writ petition is therefore misconceived. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. _______________________ NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO,J 13-09- 2007 Stp
