THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.16617 of 2008 ORDER: This writ petition is filed complaining inaction on the part of the respondents 2 to 5 in initiating action against the respondents 6 to 9 in connection with Crime No.71 of 2008 on the file of Chebrolu Police Station, West Godavari District, registered on the basis of the complaint given by the Village Revenue Officer, Kaikaram, and also seeking a direction to the 1st respondent to institute C.I.D. probe into the death of the deceased Smt. Annepu Lakshmi Devi, who died on 14.05.2008 at Kaikaram village, Ugnuturu Mandal, West Godavari District. It appears, one Annepu Lakshmi Devi, the daughter of the 1st petitioner, died with 100% burn injuries on 14.05.2008 at her house at Kaikaram village, Ugnuturu Mandal, West Godavari District. It is the case of the petitioners that basing on the report lodged by the Village Revenue Officer, Kaikaram, except registering a case in Crime No.71 of 2008 on the file of Chebrolu Police Station, West Godavari District, by the 5th respondent on 15.05.2008, under Section 174 of Cr.P.C., no further action has been taken thereafter against the culprits. Hence, this writ petition. A counter affidavit is filed by the 3rd respondent denying the allegations made by the petitioners. It is stated that during the course of investigation, the doctor, who conducted autopsy over the dead body of the deceased, opined that the deceased would appear to have died of extensive (100%) burn injuries leading to hypovolaumic shock and carbonmonoxide poisoning bleeding leading to respiratory failure. It is also stated that the investigation is in progress and if any evidence either oral or documentary is collected during the course of investigation, necessary action will be initiated against the unofficial respondents 6 to 9, including the alteration of Section of law. It is specifically stated that when the investigation is pending, the prayer sought by the petitioner to transfer the case to C.I.D for investigation is not proper and fair. Sri M.P.Chandramouli, learned counsel appearing for respondents 6 to 9, submits that the investigation was completed and a final report was also filed to the effect that the deceased died due to fire accident and not otherwise. In the facts and circumstances of the case, the 5th respondent is directed to complete the investigation, if not already completed, and take appropriate steps as per law. However, this will not preclude the petitioners from availing appropriate remedies as available under law. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU,J 28.10.2010 v v
