The petitioners have approached respondent Nos.3 and 4 with separate complaints against respondent No.5 that the said respondent has removed the bunds of fish tanks belonging to the family of petitioner No.2. As no action was taken for registering the complaints, the petitioners approached the learned Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Amalapuram with a private complaint. On reference, the abovementioned two criminal cases were registered against the persons managing respondent No.5. The grievance of the petitioners is that having registered the cases, the police are not showing interest in conducting the investigation and filing appropriate charge sheet/report. A counter affidavit has been filed by respondent No.4, wherein it is inter alia stated that in pursuance of registration of two crimes, investigation was conducted in which none of the witnesses, except the complainants, have spoken about commission of an offence by the accused and that as no prima facie case has been made out, the proposals will be submitted before the Sub Divisional Police Officer, Amalapuram for filing appropriate report. Respondent No.4 assured that appropriate report/charge sheet will be filed before the jurisdictional Magistrate ‘shortly’. At the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home submitted that an appropriate report will be filed by respondent No.4 within four weeks, after serving notice and copy of report on the petitioners. The above submission of the learned Assistant Government Pleader is placed on record and the writ petition is accordingly disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.16523 of 2010 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. __________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 28.07.2010.
