THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION NO.17673 OF 2009. Date: 25-08-2009 Between:- K.Srinivasa Reddy .. Petitioner And The Circle Inspector of Police, Atmakur, Mahabubnagar District and another .. Respondents ORDER:- This writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking a writ of mandamus to declare the action of respondents in taking him to the police station every day and detaining him without any warrant since 21-02-2009 in pursuance of a Crime No.24 of 2009 on the file of Atmakur Police Station, Mahabubnagar District, as illegal and arbitrary, and consequently, to direct the respondents not to detain him in the police station without due process of law. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that though the police, Atmakur P.S., Mahabubnagar District have been taking him every day to the police station since 21.02.2009 on the basis of Crime No.24 of 2009 registered against him on 21.02.2009, so far they have done nothing in the said crime except detaining him in the police station for hours together. 3. Heard both sides. 4. Now that a case in Crime No.24 of 2009 has been registered by Atmakur P.S., Mahabubnagar District, wherein the petitioner is shown as an accused/suspect, in my considered view, the petitioner has a remedy to approach a competent criminal court and move an application seeking an appropriate relief. 5. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to approach a competent criminal court and file an application seeking an appropriate relief. No order as to costs. _____________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J 25th August, 2009 AMD/CBS
