FOR HOME The Court at the stage of admission made the following THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA W.P.No.6533 of 2005 ORAL ORDER: Heard both sides. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that the complaint given by him to the police has not been registered as a crime and no further proceedings have been initiated so far. Hence, he seeks a direction to the respondents to register his complaint as a crime and proceed in accordance with law. 3. The facts or otherwise of the case and the averments made by the petitioners in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition against the respondents are not known. If the official respondents fail in their duty to register the crime, upon the complaint made by the petitioner, it is needless to reiterate that it is always open to the petitioner to approach the Magistrate concerned under Section 200 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, but the petitioner has not chosen to take such steps. 4. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed at the stage of admission. However, the petitioner is at liberty to approach the Magistrate concerned and proceed in accordance with law. No costs. _______________ D.S.R.VARMA, J Date: 28th March 2005 Isn ASSISTANT REGISTRAR To 1 The Commissioner of Police, Cyberabad City, O/o The Commissioner of Police, Basheerbagh, Hyderabad. 2 The Assistant Commissioner of Police, Saroornagar Division, Saroornagar, Ranga Reddy District. 3 The Station House Officer, (Inspector of Police), Vanasthalipuram Police Station, Ranga Reddy District. 4 Two CCs to G.P. for Home, High Court Buildings, Hyderabad (OUT). 5 Two CD copies 6 One CC to MR.SUNIL KUMAR, learned counsel for the petitioner.
