THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.32794 of 2010 ORDER: This writ petition is filed with the prayer, which reads as under: “For the reasons stated in the above accompanying affidavit, the petitioner herein prays that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue an appropriate writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not investigating into the Crime No.490 of 2010 of Chandanagar Police Station, Hyderabad as illegal, arbitrary and violative of the Code of Criminal Procedure and consequently direct the respondents to investigate into the crime properly.” Petitioner lodged a complaint on 08.10.2010 in Chandanagar Police Station stating that on 04.10.2010, his wife, Smt. K.Jayalakshmi, daughter and son-in-law have taken him, obtained signatures forcefully and got registered a document before the Sub-Registrar, as such, he requested to take action. On such complaint, a case was registered in Crime No.490 of 2010 for the offences punishable under Sections 147, 342, 328, 384 IPC read with 149 IPC. It is the grievance of the petitioner that the respondents are not investigating into the said crime. Based on written instructions, dated 29.12.2010, sent by the second respondent – Station House Officer, Chandanagar Police Station, Cyberabad, it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for the respondents that in the above said crime, the petitioner was examined as L.W.1 and other witnesses were examined as L.Ws.2 to 10 and their statements were recorded and the matter is under investigation. It is also submitted that when a notice was issued under Section 91 Cr.P.C. on 22.11.2010 to produce eyewitness for further investigation, there was no response from the petitioner, as such, another notice was sent to him by certificate of posting on 09.12.2010 but, so far, he has not produced any witness. As much as the respondents have examined the petitioner as well as several witnesses pursuant to the complaint lodged by him, as submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for the respondents based on the written instructions, it cannot be said that they are not investigating into the crime in question. In that view of the matter, in view of pendency of investigation, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents to complete the investigation into the crime in question as early as possible. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 30th DECEMBER, 2010. kvni
