On behalf of respondent Nos.1 and 2, a counter-affidavit has been filed by the Sub- Inspector of Police, Nidamuru Police Station, stating that they are not aware of the alleged harassment met by the petitioner and there was no information about the alleged illegal confinement of the petitioner on 15.09.2001. It is further stated that the allegation of the petitioner that he made a complaint on 10.12.2001 is false and baseless. The second respondent in his counter-affidavit specifically stated that he has thoroughly verified the entire records lying in the police station from 10.12.2001 onwards, but, no where, the alleged complaint was found and therefore, there is no question of taking up any investigation. In the light of the counter-affidavit filed by respondent Nos.1 and 2 stating that the petitioner never lodged any complaint with them, as alleged by him, I do not find any substance in the allegations made by the petitioner and therefore, the relief as prayed for cannot be granted. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ______________ 06.08.2004 Jsu To 1 Circle Inspector of Police, Ganapavaram, West Godavari District. 2 Sub Inspector of Police, Nidamarru Police Station, West Godavari District. 3 2CCs to the Government Pleader for Home, High Court Buildings, Hyderabad. 4 2CD copies
