IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) FRIDAY, THE FOURTH DAY OF DECEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION NO : 26513 of 2009 Between: Panyala Prameela and another. ..... PETITIONER AND The Commissioner of Police, Hydeabad and others. .....RESPONDENT(S) HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA W.P.No.26513 of 2009 ORDER: According to the petitioners, they are having civil disputes with the 4th respondent, and the respondents 2 and 3 are unnecessarily interfering with their civil dispute, and causing disturbance to the petitioners’ peaceful life and liberty without following the due process of law. Hence, the petitioner approached this Court and filed the present writ petition. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Home. 3. It is the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners that the respondents 2 and 3 are interfering with the petitioners’ peaceful life and liberty without following the due process of law, hence, a direction may be given to the respondents not to interfere with the petitioner’s peaceful life and liberty. 4. If any complaint is received by the police, then it is for the police to register a case and thereafter, investigate into the matter and submit a final report as provided for under Section 173 Cr.P.C. Here, according to the petitioner, the respondents 2 and 3 have so far not registered any crime against the petitioners and because of their civil disputes, they are directing the petitioners to come to the police station and making them to sit at the police station for hours together. Therefore, in my considered view, definitely it is contrary to the principles of Article 21 of the Constitution of India. The police have no business to interfere with the personal life and liberty of any individual without following the due process of law. 5. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the stage of admission with a direction to the respondents 2 and 3 not to interfere with the peaceful life and liberty of the petitioners without following the due process of law. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ 4th December 2009 KVR
