IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD Monday, July 18, 2011. Present: Hon’ble Sri Justice N. Ravi Shankar Crl.P.No. 5769 of 2011 Between: Kasani Ramu …Petitioner and Morla Chennakesavulu and others …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR Crl.P.No. 5769 of 2011 O r d e r: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that he filed a private complaint in the court of Additional Junior Civil Judge, Chirala alleging certain offences, that was referred by the said court to the concerned police for investigation and report on 7.5.2011 and till now the said police have not registered the case. The present petition is filed for seeking a direction from this court to the concerned police to register the case and take up investigation and seize the passport of the fifth accused. An interim relief is also sought to the extent that the concerned police should be directed to seize the passport of the fifth accused so that he may not leave the country. 3. It may be noted that even if on a reference from the court of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, the police have not registered the case, the petitioner may approach the concerned JFCM for necessary relief and even request the said court to take up his complaint and dispose it of according to law. Hence it is not proper for this court to interfere in this matter and this petition is accordingly dismissed. 4. However, it shall be open for the petitioner to approach the JFCM concerned and pursue his remedy. The JFCM court can also look into the matter and take appropriate action as and when the petitioner approaches it. _____________________ N. RAVI SHANKAR, J. July 18, 2011. *BVS
