The very fact that crime was registered on 03-01-2004 and the petitioner filed the writ petition on 04-02-2004 in haste exactly after a month lacks bona-fide, since the petitioner wants that respondents 2 and 3 to be arrested. Now it is represented that police after due investigation into the crime filed report before the jurisdictional Magistrate for which petitioner already filed protest application and it is for the Magistrate to take cognizance of the offence. In view of the same, no further cause survives in the writ petition and it is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _________________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J. 15-07-2004 Murthy ASSISTANT REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1 The Station House Officer, Metpally Police Station Metpally, Karimnagar District. 2.Two CCs to the Govt.
