THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.25358 of 2006 Date: 29.01.2007 Between: Mr. Ameer Ahmed …PETITIONER a n d 1. The Station House Officer, P.S. Falaknuma, Falaknuma, Hyderabad and others. …RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.25358 of 2006 ORDER: Heard the learned counsel appearing for petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Home for respondents. It is the case of the petitioner that the ﬁrst respondent i.e. the Station House Oﬃcer, Falaknuma Police Station, Falaknuma, Hyderabad, has illegally interfered with his right, liberty and enjoyment of the house bearing No.19-4-1/68/1, situated at Falaknuma, Hyderabad, and locked the premises and the keys have not been returned. The learned Government Pleader for Home submits that the house of the petitioner was not at all locked and the right and liberty of the petitioner to enjoy the said premises was not interfered with by the police and the police never locked the said premises and therefore question of returning the keys does not arise. I am of the opinion that without there being any complaint of committing a cognizable oﬀence, the police cannot interfere with the rights of the petitioner. Hence, the writ petition is allowed with a direction to the respondents not to interfere with the rights of the petitioner without there being any complaint against the petitioner that the petitioner has committed any cognizable offence. No order as to costs. -------------- 29.01.2007 Cvrk
