THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2594 of 2011 ORDER: In this writ petition, petitioner seeks a mandamus declaring the action of respondents 1 to 3 in not taking action against respondents 4 to 7 as illegal and arbitrary. In the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, it is stated that the petitioner is a mason and he has undertaken the construction work of a function hall in Venkatraopet Village, Metpally Mandal. It is the grievance of the petitioner that when such work is under process, respondents 4 to 7 are not allowing him and his workers to do the same and threatened that if they proceed with it, they would see their end and thereby, he lodged a complaint before the first respondent - Superintendent of Police, Karimnagar District, but no action has been taken. On instructions, it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for respondents 1 to 3 that a copy of the complaint was sent to the Office of the first respondent but no complaint was filed before the Station House Officer, Metpally Police Station, Karimnagar District. It is also submitted that one other person in the village complained to the third respondent – Sub- Inspector of Police, Metpally Police Station, Karimnagar, and based on such complaint, a case in Crime No.11 of 2011 was registered on the file of Police Station Metpally, on 15.01.2011. As much as it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for respondents 1 to 3 that so far, the complaint of the petitioner was not received by the third respondent, I deem it appropriate to permit the petitioner to place another copy of the complaint before the third respondent, in which event, the third respondent shall receive and register a crime, conduct investigation into it along with Crime No.11 of 2011 and take appropriate steps, as expeditiously as possible, in accordance with law. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 18th FEBRUARY, 2011. kvni
