Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.PALLENAGESWAR RAO Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR HOME The Court at the admission stage made the following : ORAL ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Home. This writ petition is filed seeking to issue a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of respondents 2 to 5 in summoning the petitioner and his family members to the police station time and again without there being any crime registered as illegal, arbitrary and violative of principles of natural justice and a consequential direction to the 1st respondent herein to take appropriate action against respondents 2 to 5 for interfering with the personal life and liberty of the petitioner without any reason. The grievance of the petitioner is that respondents 2 to 5 are frequently calling upon him and his family members to the Police Station and harassing them without there being any case registered against them. In view of the facts and circumstances of the case, it is needless to mention that when no complaint has been registered against the petitioner and his family members, the respondents have no jurisdiction to call upon them unnecessarily to the police station and harass them by interfering with their fundamental right guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution of India. It is however made clear that in case, any complaint is registered against them, respondents 2 to 5 are at liberty to proceed strictly in accordance with law. With the above observation, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 12.04.2005 Jsu/Dr To 1 The Director General of Police, Government of A.P., Hyderabad 2 The Superintendent of Police, Khammam, Khammam District 3 The Deputy Superintendent of Police, Kothagudem, Khammam District 4 The Circle Inspector of Police Palvoncha, Khammam District 5 The Station House Officer, Burgampad P.S.
