HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26138 of 2010 Date: 24th November 2010 Between : N.Rajendra Gupta & another. …….Petitioners And The Superintendent of Police, Warangal & others. ….Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26138 of 2010 ORDER : In this writ petition, the petitioners seek for directions by way of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondent No.3 in the capacity of respondent No.2, in repeatedly summoning them to the Police Station, under the guise of inquiry in an unregistered complaint filed by respondents 5 and 6, and harassing them to pay an amount of Rs.2,30,000/- to respondents 5 and 6, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioners that respondents 3 and 4 have obtained a bond for an amount of Rs.2,30,000/- from the 2nd petitioner under threat. Based on the same, they are demanding for payment of Rs.2,30,000/- and also summoning the petitioners to the Police Station without any authority or jurisdiction, in the absence of any complaint against them. Counter affidavit is filed by the 2nd respondent-Circle Inspector of Police, Parkal. In the counter affidavit, while denying the various allegations made by the petitioners, it is stated that the dispute between the petitioners and non- official respondents is purely of civil nature and no complaint, whatsoever, is received or registered against the petitioners and that the petitioners were never summoned to the Police Station. Though it is the allegation of petitioners that they were summoned by the Police, and were being insisted to settle the dispute with the non-official respondents, except the sworn statement, there is no other material to support the same. In view of the averments made in the counter that no case is registered against the petitioners and that the dispute between the petitioners and non-official respondents is purely of civil nature, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, recording the aforesaid statement made by the 2nd respondent in the counter affidavit. However, it is made clear that any further steps or interference with regard to such dispute between the petitioners and non-official respondents will be viewed seriously. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. __________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 24th November 2010 ajr
