HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.593 of 2011 Date : 07.02.2011 Between : Gudepu Balaiah. …..Petitioner And The Superintendent of Police, Karimnagar & others. …..Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.593 of 2011 ORDER : In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks declaration by way of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondents in not investigating into Crime No.168 of 2010, as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner herein has filed a private complaint before the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Huzurabad, against the 3rd respondent, alleging that on 8th of December 2010 at about 1 a.m., the 3rd respondent, along with four Constables, came to his house in a Maruthi van and beat him with sticks and also threatened him with dire consequences, questioning him as to why he had submitted the Memorandum to his Excellency the Governor, Hon’ble Chief Minister and other higher authorities, with regard to registration of crime in Crime No.135 of 2010. Upon filing such private complaint, it was referred to the Police under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. for investigation. Thereafter, it was registered as a case in Crime No.168 of 2010 on the file of Veenavanka Police Station of Karimnagar District, for the offences under Sections 449, 452, 323, 506 r/w.34 of IPC, against respondent No.3. It is the grievance of the petitioner that though the said crime was registered on 27th of December 2010, no further action has been taken by the Police. Based on the written instructions, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader that number of witnesses are already examined in the aforesaid case and as per the evidence collected so far, the allegation made by the petitioner against the 3rd respondent was not established. It is further submitted that on the date of alleged offence i.e. on 8th of December 2010, the 3rd respondent remained present at the headquarters of Veenavanka Police Station, as per the extract of general diary of the said Police Station, as such, the allegation made against him is false and baseless. However, it is stated that after completion of entire investigation, the final report will be filed. As much as the case in Crime No.168 of 2010 was registered, even according to the petitioner, only on 27th of December 2010, it cannot be said there is abnormal delay and laches on the part of the investigating agency in investigating it. In view of the submission made by the learned Government Pleader that appropriate final report will be filed after completion of investigation, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, directing the respondents to complete the investigation and file the final report as expeditiously as possible. Subject to the aforesaid direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 7th February 2011 ajr
