THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.30867 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, it is the grievance of the petitioner that in spite of his lodging complaint to the respondents, they are not registering the case with regard to theft of his lorry bearing No.AP36 Y 3432. It is the case of the petitioner that though the complaint was sent to the respondents by speed post complaining theft of his lorry bearing No.AP36 Y 3432, no steps have been taken. A perusal of the complaint indicates that such complaint is lodged against Sri Ram Transport and Finance Company Limited, Ananthapur. Such company is not made as a party to this writ petition. However, on instructions, it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for the respondents that the petitioner never preferred a complaint in person before the second respondent – Station House Officer, II Town Police Station, Anantapur, on 24.11.2010 as alleged and a copy of it was sent through post to the first respondent – Superintendent of Police, Guntur, who in turn, endorsed the same to the Circle-Inspector of Police, Anantapur II Town Police Station, with instructions to verify facts and take necessary action as per law. It is also submitted that on receipt of such endorsement from the Office of the first respondent, the Inspector of Police, Anantapur II Town Police Station, tried to secure the petitioner for enquiry and to take necessary action but the petitioner never turned up to prefer specific complaint before the second respondent. In the absence of making Sri Ram Transport and Finance Company Limited, Ananthapur, as a party to this writ petition, no direction can be issued as prayed for by the petitioner. It is to be noticed that there is no proof of receipt of any complaint by the second respondent. In that view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to permit the petitioner to submit another copy of the complaint to the second respondent and if such copy is filed by the petitioner in person, the same is to be verified and appropriate steps be taken thereon by the respondents. However, it is open to the respondents to register a case, if such complaint makes out any offence. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 20th DECEMBER, 2010. Note: issue c.c. in two (2) days. kvni
