HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.1917 of 2011 Date : 09.02.2011 Between : Smt. Bitragunta Bhagya Lakshmi & others. …..Petitioners And The Commissioner of Police, Vizag & another. …..Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.1917 of 2011 ORDER : This writ petition is filed, seeking directions by way of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondent No.2 in insisting the petitioners to come to Gajuvaka Police Station, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioners that they are the permanent residents of Chinapulivarru village of Kolluru Mandal in Guntur District. Although they are not involved in any crime, respondents are insisting them to come to Gajuvaka Police Station in Srinagar, Vizag. On instructions, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader that one Maddipetla Jaganmohan Rao has lodged a complaint on 13.10.2010 in Gajuvaka Police Station, alleging that his grand daughter by name D.Yugandhari left the house on the said date, and did not return. In the complaint, the complainant has suspected one Markandeyulu @ Mahesh, an auto driver, to be responsible for the occurrence, and requested the Police to take action. It is stated that based on such complaint, a case in Crime No.519/2010 was registered under the head of ‘girl missing’, on 14.10.2010, and investigation is taken up. It is submitted that petitioners 1 and 2 are parents of the said Mahesh and petitioner No.3 is his friend. In view of the complaint, they are merely inquiring about the whereabouts of Mahesh, but they are not insisting the petitioners to come to the Police Station, as alleged by them. When there is a complaint against Mahesh, who is none other than the son of petitioners 1 and 2 and a friend of the 3rd petitioner, it is always open for the Police to make inquiries with them for the purpose of investigating Crime No.519/2010, but the same cannot be construed as an interference, so as to grant the directions as prayed for in this writ petition. For the aforesaid reasons, the writ petition is devoid of merit and it is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 9th February 2011 ajr
