THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G. CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION NO.14664 OF 2009 Date: 24.09.2009 Between:- Smt K.Khatun Bee .. Petitioner And The Superintendent of Police, Kurnool District, Kurnool and another. .. Respondents ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking for writ of Mandamus declaring the action of respondent No.2–Sub-Inspector of Police, Kodumuru Police Station, Kurnool District, in refusing to receive the complaint of the petitioner dated 02.07.2009, as illegal, arbitrary and unconstitutional and violation of Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India and consequently direct the respondents forthwith to register and take action on the complaint given by the petitioner. The case of the petitioner is that the Mandal Revenue Officer, Kodumuru has assigned a house site admeasuring Ac.0.1 ½ cents in Survey No.110 at Kodumuru village to the petitioner, who is a landless poor person, vide assignment order dated 27.08.2008 in RCA No.229/2008 wherein she constructed a small thatched house and residing for the last twenty years. On 02.07.2009, some persons came to her house and threatened her with dire consequences to remove the construction and also abused her in filthy language. Therefore, she sent a complaint dated 02.07.2009 under registered post with acknowledgment due to both the respondents seeking protection and for taking action. Since no action has been yet taken on the said complaint, she filed this writ petition. On behalf of the respondents, a counter has been filed stating that though the petitioner sent a complaint through registered post with acknowledgment due, postman did not deliver the same in the concerned police station on the premise that the Sub Inspector of Police was not available. Instead of verifying from the officers available in the police station, postman himself made an endorsement as “addressee refused to receive the registered post” and returned it. On receipt of the communication about filing the writ petition, he enquired the matter with the concerned postman and recorded his statement. The complaint was received by respondent No.1 through registered post and forwarded the same to respondent No.2 for taking action. Then, respondent No.2 entered the same in the General Diary though the complaint is not cognizable and the same was recorded in the General Diary and the matter is at the stage of preliminary enquiry for taking necessary action on the petitioner’s complaint. Having regard to the averments made in the counter affidavit, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents to take action on the complaint dated 02.07.2009, as expeditiously as possible, in accordance with Law. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ G. CHANDRAIAH, J 24th September, 2009 AMD
