THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.19399 of 2009 DATE:14.09.2009 Between: Darmula Nagaraju ... Petitioner and The Superintendent of Police, West Godavari District and others ... Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.19399 of 2009 ORDER: This writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking a Writ of Mandamus to declare the inaction of respondents 1 and 2 in considering his representation dated 03.08.2009 for registering a crime against respondents 3 to 7, as illegal and arbitrary. 2. According to the petitioner, he is the owner of an extent of Ac.7.21 cents in Sy.Nos.3, 26 and 38/3 of Palakunta village, Nimmalagudem Grampanchayat, Buttaigudem Mandal, West Godavari District. While so, respondents 3 to 7, who are politically inimical towards him, with the collusion of tribals and non-tribals, are high handedly trespassing into his land and also trying to occupy his land without any right, title or interest over the same. When he questioned, they threatened him with dire consequences. Hence, he approached the Sub-Inspector of Police, Buttaigudem P.S., West Godavari District - 2nd respondent on 03.08.2009 and submitted a representation seeking protection to him as well as his perperty, but so far the 2nd respondent did not even move his little finger to take action against respondents 3 to 7. Aggrieved by the same, he filed the present writ petition. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Home. 4. May be it is true that the petitioner approached the 2nd respondent and gave a representation on 03.08.2009. But, in my considered view, had he approached a competent criminal court and filed a private complaint, his grievance would have been redressed. Instead of doing so, he approached the 2nd respondent and gave a representation and as his representation is not considered by the 2nd respondent, he appraoched this Court and filed the present writ petition. As stated supra, the petitioner may file a private complaint before a competent criminal court against respondents 3 to 7, as provided for under Section 200 Cr.P.C., for redressal of his grievance. 5. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of directing the petitioner to approach a competent criminal court and file a private complaint for redressal of his grievance. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J 14th September, 2009 Note: Furnish CC today.
