Upon perusing the notice, the Superintendent of Police, Anantapur, has instructed me to conduct a detailed enquiry into the matter and submit report. It is respectfully submitted that I have conducted a detailed enquiry into the matter. My enquiries revealed that one Mr.Gorantla Narasimha Reddy gave a complaint to the Sub- Inspector of Police, Nallacheruvu, alleging that he was cheated by Mr.Kokkanti Mal Reddy and Mr.Kokkanti Bhaskar Reddy, who are the petitioners herein, in connection with the amounts of compensation provided for the acquisition of the land by the Handri-Neeva canal contractors. The Sub-Inspector of Police, Nallacheruvu responding to the complaint, enquired into the matter and in that connection he summoned the petitioners herein to the police station and after enquiry the Sub-Inspector of Police, Nallacheruvu found the matter is purely “Civil in Nature” and that he cannot do anything and advised the complainant- Mr.Gorantla Narasimha Reddy to get his problem remedied by way of approaching appropriate judicial forum for solving his problem as per law. No action was initiated on the complaint of Mr.Gorantla Narasimha Reddy. It is respectfully submitted that only to know the veracity in the complaint of the 5th respondent herein, the Sub-Inspector of Police, Nallacheruvu Police Station summoned the petitioner and enquired the same and found the matter is civil in nature, he advised the complainant to settle their disputes in a competent civil Court. The same was also informed to the petitioners.” In view of the above report, the Writ Petition is closed with direction to respondent Nos.3 and 4 not to interfere in the civil disputes between the petitioners and respondent No.5 in future.
