THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA Writ Petition No.22664 of 2009 ORDER: 1 The petitioner is the absolute owner of the property covered by municipal assessment No.23-6-1015 situated at Shalibanda, Hyderabad. According to her, at the instance of local land grabbers the Inspector of Police Moghalpura directed the petitioner to appear before him on 18.10.2009 and when she approached the police she was made to sit in the police station along with her husband for hours and she was further directed not to attend the repairs of the said property. As the said action of the first respondent is highly objectionable, the petitioner brought the same to the notice of the second respondent by way of a telegraphic notice on 19.10.2009. But, however, the second respondent has not acted upon the said telegraphic notice. Again on 20.10.2009 the first respondent sent police personnel to the petitioner’s house and threatened the petitioner and her family members. Hence the petitioner approached this court and filed the present Writ Petition. 2 Heard both sides. 3 Admittedly, no case is registered against the petitioner nor there is any complaint from any quarter against the petitioner stating that the petitioner is doing some illegal acts. When the petitioner is affecting repairs to her property, the police are no way concerned with the said work and the first respondent cannot curtail the personal liberty of the petitioner without following due process under law. 4 Accordingly this Writ Petition is allowed and the respondents particularly first respondent is hereby directed not to interfere with the petitioner’s personal liberty without following due process under law. No order as to costs. ------------- 29.10.2009 kvsn
