IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) SATURDAY, THE NINETEENTH DAY OF APRIL, TWO THOUSAND EIGHT ONLY PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.19961 of 2007 Between: P. Sreenivas … Petitioner AND The Deputy Commissioner of Police, South Zone, Hyderabad & others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : None Counsel for respondents 1&2: AGP for Home This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.19961 of 2007 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to declare the action of respondent Nos.3 to 5 in summoning the petitioner to the police station and making him to execute a settlement deed on 23.08.2007 at the instance of respondent No.6, as illegal and arbitrary. At the hearing, there is no representation for the petitioner. A perusal of the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition shows that at the instance of respondent Nos.4 and 5, respondent No.3 is interfering in the disputes between the petitioner and respondent No.6. In the counter affidavit filed by respondent No.2, the allegation of interference by respondent Nos.2 and 3 is denied. It is stated that a representation made by the petitioner to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, South Zone, wherein allegations were made against respondent No.3 and two police constables, was got enquired into through the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Charminar division, that enquiry revealed that respondent No.3 called both the parties to the police station and advised them to settle the matter amicably before the elders and also advised them to come back to him with the agreement and that accordingly both the parties went outside to settle the matter and came back and reported to respondent No.3 that they settled the matter amicably. It is further stated that one Mr. Bankim Ghosh submitted a petition before respondent No.3 to the effect that both the parties came to an amicable understanding before the elders and an Advocate by name Sri Raju and executed a settlement deed and that since the dispute was civil in nature, no case was registered though an entry in the general diary was made in the police station. Since no reply affidavit is filed controverting the averments contained in the counter affidavit, I find no option except to accept the averments contained in it as correct. The writ petition is therefore dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.25739 of 2007 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is also dismissed. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 19.04.2008 ES
