THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.2866 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner filed this writ petition seeking to quash FIR No.8 of 2005 dated 13.01.2005, registered for the offence under Section 420 I.P.C on the file of Trimulgherry Police Station, at the instance of the second respondent, and presently prosecuted by the Women Protection Cell (CID), Hyderabad. This Court, on 10.02.2010, while issuing notice before admission granted interim stay as prayed for and further directed that the laptop seized on 04.02.2010 from the premises of the petitioner shall be returned to him subject to certain conditions. Thereafter, the matter underwent several adjournments. Since the investigation officer was not evincing any interest in the matter, on 29.09.2010, while adjourning the matter for filing counter-affidavit, this Court ordered that in case counter is not filed by 04.10.2010, the first respondent shall appear before this Court. On 04.10.2010, the first respondent appeared before the Court and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home has produced a letter alleged to have been given by the petitioner-de facto complainant and submitted that the de facto complainant wants to withdraw the complaint itself. Hence, this Court directed the Superintendent of Police, Women’s Protection Cell, Hyderabad, who is the in-charge of the affairs, to appear before this Court on 06.10.2010 along with relevant record and file. In pursuance of the said order, the Superintendent of Police, Women Protection Cell, CBCID appeared before this Court on 07.10.2010 and assured that he will depute another responsible officer to the house of the de facto complainant for recording her statement. Therefore, this Court passed a detailed order on 07.10.2010 directing the Superintendent of Police to depute a responsible officer to the house of the de facto complainant for recording her statement as to whether she intends to pursue the complaint or not and submit a report. Today, when the matter is taken up for consideration, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home has produced the report of the In-charge Superintendent of Police, WPC, CID, along with the statement of the de facto complainant recorded by Smt. Nalini, DSP of Women Protection Cell, CID, which clearly disclose that the de facto complainant wants to withdraw the complaint. Since the petitioner-de facto complainant herself is not coming forward to prosecute the case, and as it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home that the police are going to close the case as “Action Dropped”, I am of the view that no further orders are necessary in this writ petition. A copy of the report dated 23.10.2010 be placed on record. The writ petition is accordingly closed. There shall be no order as to costs. N.V. RAMANA, J Date: 28.10.2010 va
