THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.26154 of 2006 Between: Gowrisetty Goverdhan. .. PETITIONER and The Superintendent of Police and another. .. RESPONDENTS ORDER: The petitioner seeks to issue a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not properly investigating Cr.No.43 of 2006 as illegal and arbitrary. A counter has been filed stating that pursuant to the complaint lodged on 26-03-2006 stating that some gold ornaments worth about Rs.15,000/- has been stolen from the house of the petitioner in between 02-02-2006 and 01-03-2006 and he is suspecting one Pavan Kumar Sastry, the investigating officer examined three witnesses and recorded their detailed statements. In fact, the suspected person was also interrogated, but he did not give any clues with regard to the commission of offence. As a matter of fact, the suspected person also made petitions against the respondents before the District and Sessions Judge and before the District legal Services Authority. It is stated that the petitioner has not given any clues with regard to the commission of offence. In view of the aforesaid counter, I am of the opinion that the complaint itself is belated one and no specific clues have been given with regard to the commission of offence, and, therefore, it cannot be said that there is inaction on the part of the respondents in expediting investigation. However, it is just and proper to direct the respondents to expedite investigation and file appropriate report. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to expedite investigation and file appropriate report, in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 24-04-2007 Prv
