IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WEDNESDAY, THE THIRTIETH DAY OFAPRIL, TWO THOUSAND EIGHT ONLY WRIT PETITION No.17280 of 2006 Between: Sayeed Afzal Ahmed. … Petitioner And The Station House Officer, Mancherial, Adilabad District and another. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioners: ---- Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Hone. This Court made the following: ORDER:- At the interlocutory stage, the Writ Petition is taken up for hearing and disposal. This Writ Petition is filed for a Writ of Mandamus to declare the inaction of respondent No. 1 in completing the investigation into FIR No.274 of 2005 on the file of respondent No.1, as illegal and arbitrary. At the hearing, there is no representation for the petitioner. Heard the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home and perused the record. In the counter-affidavit filed by respondent No.1, it is stated that after registration of the case he examined the petitioner and recorded his detailed statement; that he requested the petitioner to produce the witnesses, in support of his allegations, for examination, but he failed to do so; and that he personally visited Islampur village and enquired the neighbours/locality people about the complaint, but no one came forward to give the statement. It is further averred that no eye witnesses/circumstantial witnesses were found in the case. Hence, after obtaining permission of the higher authorities, the answering respondent referred the complaint of the petitioner as the one with lack of evidence; the notice of the same was also communicated to the petitioner; and final report was filed before the Judicial I Class Magistrate, Mancherial on 6-10-2006. The petitioner has not filed any rejoinder to controvert those allegations. Since final report has already been filed in the said Crime, the cause in the Writ Petition does not survive for consideration. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. Liberty is, however, given to the petitioner to file a protest application before the jurisdictional Magistrate. ------------------------------------ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J 30-4-2008 MNR
