THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.9706 OF 2010 Dated 27th April, 2010 Between: Mudavath Kishan Singh …Petitioner And The Sub-Inspector of Police, Deverkonda P.S., Nalgonda District and another. …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Mr.Y.Ashok Raj Counsel for respondent No.1: AGP for Home Counsel for respondent No.2: ----- The Court made the following: Order: This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.1, in trying to arrest the petitioner in pursuance of complaint, dated 27-03-2010, made by respondent No.2, as illegal and arbitrary. I have heard Mr.Y.Ashok Raj, learned Counsel for the petitioner, and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home representing respondent No.1. The petitioner and respondent No.2, who are husband and wife, are involved in matrimonial disputes. The petition filed by the petitioner for divorce is stated to be pending in the Court of the Senior Civil Judge, Nalgonda. In the meantime, respondent No.2 gave a report on 27-03-2010 to respondent No.1 alleging harassment by the petitioner. In his affidavit, the petitioner averred that purporting to take action on the said report, respondent No.1 has been calling him to the Police Station in the name of counselling and making him wait till night in the Police Station while respondent No.1 himself has not been attending the Police Station for the purported counselling. The petitioner alleged that by the said conduct, respondent No.1 is depriving him of his personal liberty. In my opinion, respondent No.1 has no power or authority to require the petitioner to attend the Police Station unless a criminal case is registered and the person of the petitioner is required in connection with investigation into such a case. So long as the petitioner is not found involved in commission of any offences, respondent No.1 may not interfere with the former’s life and personal liberty . The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of with the direction to respondent No.1 not to intrude into the life of the petitioner unless he is required in connection with any criminal case. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.12512 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 27th April, 2010 lur
