THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION NO.16850 OF 2009. Date: 24-08-2009 Between:- Ganisetty Seetaramaiah .. Petitioner And The Superintendent of Police, West Godavari District, Eluru and others .. Respondents ORDER:- The petitioner filed this Writ Petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking a writ of Mandamus to declare the inaction of respondent Nos.1 and 2 herein not to take any action pursuant to the complaint filed by the petitioner dated 24.07.2009 for police protection as illegal, arbitrary and consequently direct the respondent Nos.1 and 2 to take immediate action on the said complaint. According to the petitioner, there are civil disputes between the petitioner and respondent No.3 and in that regard, respondent No.3 instituted O.S.No.865 of 2006 on the file of I Additional Junior Civil Judge’s Court, Bhimavaram and obtained interim injunction. As against the said order, the petitioner herein preferred an appeal and the learned Senior Civil Judge, after hearing both the parties, vacated the said interim injunction. In the light of the said development, the petitioner tried to enter into the land as he is claiming title over the said property. But, however, respondent No.3, without right whatsoever, was interfering and causing obstruction and beat the petitioner. On that the petitioner approached the Station House Officer, Kalla Police Station and lodged a complaint and the same was registered as Crime No.104 of 2009 on 03.08.2009. As the harassment at the hands of respondent No.3 is so severe and he is trying to interfere with the peaceful possession of the petitioner every time, the petitioner again approached the police and requested him to complete the enquiry pursuant to the said Crime No.104 of 2009 and requested the police to give necessary police protection. But, however, as nothing has happened, the petitioner approached this Court and filed the present writ petition. When once a crime has been registered, a duty is cast upon the police officials to investigate into the matter and submit a final report before the competent criminal Court. As it is the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the police are not acting upon the said report and respondent No.3, taking advantage of the said inaction, is interfering and is causing obstruction, this Court is of the view that the police shall immediately act on the basis of the said First Information Report i.e., Crime No.104 of 2009 dated 03.08.2009 for the offence punishable under Section 324 I.P.C. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. _________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J 24th August, 2009 AMD/KSH
