IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No :16120 of 1999 Dated: 17.04.2007 Between: 1.Sanapala Sathyavathi @ Sathamma and another ..... PETITIONERS AND 1.S.B.Rama Rao and 8 others … RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.16120 of 1999 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking from this court a direction to the 9th respondent to enquire into the complaint lodged by the petitioners in DDR No.804/99 and pass appropriate orders after hearing the parties in accordance with the provisions of the Human Rights Act. Heard both sides. It is the case of the petitioners that they gave a complaint under Section 200 Cr.P.C. against respondents 1 to 8 before the 9th respondent for the offences punishable under Sections 330, 339, 354, 355, 452, 503 read with Section 34 of I.P.C. Without making any enquiry into the complaint and without affording any opportunity of hearing, the 9th respondent closed the complaint on 10.06.1999, which is illegal and arbitrary. Almost eight years have passed and after lapse of such length of time, this Court is not inclined to direct the 9th respondent to reopen the matter and pass appropriate orders. As such, the relief sought for in this writ petition does not survive. I find no merit in the petition. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ____________________________ (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) 17-04-2007 Gsn.
