THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION Nos.14908, 14909 & 14910 of 2010 COMMON ORDER: As these three writ petitions are inter-connected, they are heard together and are being disposed of by this common order. The petitioner filed these three writ petitions seeking writ of Certiorari to call for the records from respondents 3 and 6 and to quash Crime Nos.46, 44 and 70 of 2009 dated 25.03.2009 pending before the sixth respondent. According to the petitioner, himself and his family members are doing communication equipment business by way of selling Mobile Phones and Telephones and doing business for various telecommunication companies. As such, he had taken distribution of Reliance R-Del during 2006-07 and marketed the same. As the sales of fixed wireless phones and other equipments were picked up, some of the persons approached him to act as re-sellers and he used to give cash discounts on bulk purchases to them. It is stated that M.S. Distributors-the petitioner’s firm did not appoint anyone as Sub- distributor. The Reliance Company used to give wide publicity in the normal electronic and print media regarding its latest additions and used to display the price of the equipment and period of service. While so the fourth respondent had purchased about 350 phones and some of them were purchased when the customer price of the phones was Rs.1699/- and some were purchased when the price came down to Rs.1299/-. The price drop was announced by the Reliance Company through posters, pamphlets, road show vans etc. The Reliance Company had closed R-Del phone scheme from 31.03.2007 and hence the petitioners also stopped doing business of the said phones. While so, one and half years after purchase of R-Del phones from him, the fourth respondent had given press statement with ulterior motive falsifying the facts and to tarnish the image of the petitioner’s firm. When he came to know about the same, he got issued a legal notice to the fourth respondent and subsequently filed O.S.No.117 of 2009 before I Additional Senior Civil Judge, Warangal and the same was decreed for Rs.2,00,000/- with interest @12% per annum, by judgment dated 04.03.2010. It is further stated that as a counter blast to the said suit and with an intention to harass him, the fourth respondent, at the instance of the fifth respondent, lodged three complaints against the petitioner. On the basis of the said complaints, three crimes vide Crime Nos.46, 44 and 70 of 2009 were registered under Section 420 I.P.C on the file of three different police stations. Though these three cases were supposed to be investigated by the concerned Sub-Inspectors’, due to the transfer of the fifth respondent, who investigated these three cases initially, these cases were shifted to P.S.Hanamkonda on the point of jurisdiction. When the fifth respondent came back to Jangaon on promotion as Deputy Superintendent of Police, these three crimes were called back to Jangaon Sub Division. The grievance of the petitioner is that under the guise of the said crimes, the police of Jangaon are asking him to come to the police immediately otherwise he has to face serious consequences; that when he appeared before the third and fifth respondents, he was advised to settle the matter with the fourth respondent and that the business transaction between him and the fourth respondent is purely civil in nature, and therefore, if the fourth respondent feels that he has sold the phones for excess price to him, the fourth respondent can approach the appropriate legal forum or he can complain to the Reliance Company for taking appropriate action against him, as he is the authorized dealer of the said Company. The third respondent-Circle Inspector of Police, Chariyal, Warangal filed a counter-affidavit in W.P.No.14909 of 2010, which indicates that since the complainant-fourth respondent did not cooperate with the investigating agency in furnishing the relevant documentary evidence, he obtained legal opinion from the Additional Public Prosecutor, Warangal on 16.06.2010 and referred the case as “Lack of Evidence”; that thereafter, the Sub Divisional Police Officer, Warangal has accorded permission to refer the case of “Lack of Evidence” by his letter No.Mis/SDPO-WT/2010 dated 25.06.2010, and that after serving the notice to the complainant, final report will be filed before the concerned Court at the earliest. Recording the above counter-averments, and since the same are not rebutted by the petitioner, I am of the view that no further orders are necessary in this writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly closed. There shall be no order as to costs. N.V. RAMANA, J Date: 21.09.2010 va
