Nagarjuna Reddy Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Home The Court made the following: THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.17657 of 2007 ORDER: At the interlocutory stage, the writ petition is taken up for hearing and disposal with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties. This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the inaction of the respondents in investigating into Crime No.509 of 2007 of II Town Police Station, Visakhapatnam City, as illegal and arbitrary. At the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home submitted that by the time of filing of the counter affidavit on 03.09.2007, as many as 13 witnesses were examined and that she is not aware of the present stage of investigation. Since more than 2 ½ years had elapsed from the time of filing of the counter affidavit, it is reasonable to presume that the respondents would have completed the investigation and filed appropriate report. If this has not been done so far, respondent No.3 is directed to complete the investigation and file appropriate report/charge sheet before the jurisdictional Magistrate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.22646 of 2007 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. __________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 16.06.2010.
