THE HONOUABLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH W.P. No. 13203 of 2007 Date:25-06-2007 Between: K.Lakshmikantha Reddy .. PETITIONER AND The Inspector of Police, Alur P.S. and three others .. RESPONDENTS ORDER: The petitioner seeks a writ of mandamus to declare the action of the respondents 1 and 2 in interfering with civil disputes at the instance of the respondents 3 and 4 and summoning the petitioner to the police station time and again without there being any case registered against the petitioner, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioner that with regard to certain civil disputes pending between the petitioner and the respondents 3 and 4 who are close relatives of the local M.L.A., the respondents 1 and 2 are interfering with the personal life and liberty of the petitioner to settle the said civil disputes. It is stated that the petitioner has not committed any cognizable offence and no complaint is pending against him and therefore, the police cannot interfere with the personal life and liberty of the petitioner. In view of the above, I am of the opinion that in a writ of mandamus sought to be issued, there should have some representation before the superior police officers about the alleged illegal interference by the respondents 1 and 2. Therefore, no writ of mandamus can be issued. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. It is needless to mention that the police cannot interfere with the civil disputes. Unless, the complaint is filed and registered alleging that cognizable offence has been committed, the police cannot interfere with the life and liberty of any private individual. If there is any such interference, it is open for the petitioner to make a representation before the Superintendent of Police and also file a fresh writ petition accordingly. No costs. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J. Date:25.06.2007 ccm
